  • System and methods for encoding octree structured point cloud data using an entropy model
    Patent number: 11676310
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed encoding LIDAR point cloud data. In particular, a computing system can receive point cloud data for a three-dimensional space. The computing system can generate a tree-based data structure from the point cloud data, the tree-based data structure comprising a plurality of nodes. The computing system can generate a serial representation of the tree-based data structure. The computing system can, for each respective node represented by a symbol in the serial representation: determine contextual information for the respective node, generate, using the contextual information as input to a machine-learned model, a statistical distribution associated with the respective node, and generate a compressed representation of the symbol associated with the respective node by encoding the symbol using the statistical distribution for the respective node.
