  • Patent number: 12211239
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system and associated methods for compressing motion within an animated point cloud. The resulting compressed file encodes different transforms that recreate the motion of different sets of points across different point clouds or frames of the animation in place of the data for the different sets of points from the different point clouds. The compression involves detecting a motion that changes positioning of a set of points between a first point cloud and subsequent point clouds of an uncompressed encoding of two or more frames of an animation. The compression further involves defining a transform that models the motion, and generating a compressed animated point cloud by encoding the data of the first point cloud in the compressed animated point cloud, and by replacing the data for the set of points in the one or more subsequent point clouds with the transform.
