  • Publication number: 20250056049
    Abstract: A method for encapsulating point cloud data in a file compliant with the ISOBMFF standard. After having obtained point cloud data comprising 3D points, the obtained point cloud data being organized in at least one point cloud frame, at least two sub-frames of the at least one point cloud frame are determined, a timing information being associated with each of the at least two sub-frames, the timing information associated with one of the at least two sub-frames being different from the timing information associated with the other of the at least two sub-frames. Next, metadata describing the at least two sub-frames are generated, the generated metadata comprising or describing the timing information associated with each of the at least two sub-frames, and the obtained 3D points and the generated metadata are encapsulated in the file, each point cloud frame being encapsulated as one or more samples.

  • Publication number: 20250024119
    Abstract: At least one embodiment of a method for encapsulating media data in a media file, the media data comprising a plurality of samples. After having generated a first track comprising a media data part storing a first sequence of samples of the plurality of samples, the first track further comprising a metadata part describing the first sequence of samples and having generated descriptive metadata describing a dependency between a given sample of the first track and another sample, the generated descriptive metadata being stored in the metadata part of the first track, the first track is encapsulated in the media file, the generated descriptive metadata comprising an offset reference for indicating a reference sample to be used for identifying the sample the given sample depends on.

  • Patent number: 9162747
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for manufacturing a sound attenuation panel having a first cellular core structure and a second cellular core structure joined in a junction area (J). The method includes: a) a joining edge of the first cellular core structure is joined to a corresponding joining edge of the second cellular core structure, thereby forming the junction area; b) the first cellular core structure and the second cellular core structure are placed between an inner skin and an outer skin of the panel. In particular, the method further has a step prior to step a), in which one junction reinforcement is inserted between the joining edge of the first cellular core structure and the corresponding joining edge of the second cellular core structure in the junction area.
