Abstract: Methods and devices for encoding a point cloud. More than one frame of reference is identified and a transform defines the relative motion of a second frame of reference to a first frame of reference. The space is segmented into regions and each region is associated with one of the frames of reference. Local motion vectors within a region are expressed relative to the frame of reference associated with that region. Occupancy of the bitstream is entropy encoded based on predictions determined using the location motion vectors and the transform associated with the attached frame of reference.

Abstract: Methods and devices for coding point cloud data using volume trees and predicted-point trees. In one embodiment of the disclosure, a method of encoding a point cloud data to generate a bitstream of compressed point cloud data representing a three-dimensional location of a physical object is provided, the point cloud data being located within a volumetric space. The method includes compressing a first part of the point cloud data represented by a first tree of a first type; determining for a given node of the first tree if an assignation to a second type of tree is enabled, said given node still being processed for the first tree; when the assignation is enabled, compressing a second part of the point cloud data represented by a second tree of the second type wherein, features associated with a root node of the second tree are at least partially obtained from the given node.

Abstract: Method and devices for coding point cloud data using an angular coding mode. The angular coding mode may be signaled using in an angular mode flag to signal that a volume is to be coded using the angular coding mode. The angular coding mode is applicable to planar volumes that have all of their occupied child nodes on one side of a plane bisecting the volume. A planar position flag may signal which side of the volume is occupied. Entropy coding may be used to code the planar position flag. Context determination for coding may take into account angular information for child nodes or groups of child nodes of the volume relative to a location of a beam assembly that has sampled to point cloud. Characteristics of the beam assembly may be coded into a dedicated syntax in the bitstream.

Abstract: Methods and devices for modified coding of blocks of residuals in the case of transform skipping. To better align the data with assumptions upon which the entropy coding scheme is based, the block of residual data is permuted at the encoder prior to entropy coding. The block of reconstructed data is then inverse permuted at the decoder to recover the reconstructed block of residuals. The permutation may include 180 rotation of the block, which may be of particular benefit in the case of intra-coded residuals.

Abstract: Provided is a method and apparatus for location notification using location context information. In accordance with an embodiment of the disclosure, a mobile device automatically generates location context information that indicates a point of interest in a vicinity of the mobile device. For example, if the user of the mobile device is at home, then the location context information indicates that the user is at home instead of merely indicating latitude/longitude information corresponding to the location of the home. The mobile device displays the location context information in order to convey the location of the mobile device in a manner that is meaningful without the need for a map. Alternatively, or additionally, the mobile device provides the location context information to at least one other device. This serves to inform other users of the location of the mobile device in a manner that is meaningful without the need for a map.

Abstract: Methods and devices for video coding using intra-coding and removing redundant intra modes from a set of candidate intra modes. The methods may determine that at least some candidate intra modes generate candidate prediction blocks that are redundant and, based on that determination, eliminate said at least some of the candidate intra modes to reduce the set to a subset. In some cases, a candidate prediction block is redundant if it is less than a threshold different from another of the candidate prediction blocks identified by one of the candidate intra modes in the set. A function may be applied to the candidate prediction block and the another candidate prediction block to identify redundancy.
