Abstract: Disclosed in the present invention is a point cloud attribution compression method based on deleting 0 elements in a quantisation matrix, including optimizing a traversal sequence for a quantisation matrix and deleting the 0 elements at the end of the data stream. The present invention may use seven types of traversal sequences at the encoding end of the point cloud attribute compression, such that the distribution of the 0 elements in the data stream may be more concentrated at the end thereof. The 0 elements at the end of the data stream may be deleted, removing redundant information and reducing the quantity of data to be entropy encoded. At the decoding end, the point cloud geometric information may be incorporated to supplement the deleted 0 elements and the quantisation matrix may be restored according to the traversal sequence, thereby improving compression performance without introducing new errors.
