- Deep Learning-Based Point Cloud Coding and Super-Resolution: a Joint Geometry and Color ApproachPublication . Guarda, André F. R.; Ruivo, Manuel; Coelho, Luís; Seleem, Abdelrahman; M. M. Rodrigues, Nuno; Pereira, FernandoIn this golden age of multimedia, realistic content is in high demand with users seeking more immersive and interactive experiences. As a result, new image modalities for 3D representations have emerged in recent years, among which point clouds have deserved especial attention. Naturally, with this increase in demand, efficient storage and transmission became a must, with standardization groups such as MPEG and JPEG entering the scene, as it happened before with other types of visual media. In a surprising development, JPEG issued a Call for Proposals on point cloud coding targeting exclusively learningbased solutions, in parallel to a similar call for image coding. This is a natural consequence of the growing popularity of deep learning, which due to its excellent performances is currently dominant in the multimedia processing field, including coding. This paper presents the coding solution selected by JPEG as the best-performing response to the Call for Proposals and adopted as the first version of the JPEG Pleno Point Cloud Coding Verification Model, in practice the first step for developing a standard. The proposed solution offers a novel joint geometry and color approach for point cloud coding, in which a single deep learning model processes both geometry and color simultaneously. To maximize the RD performance for a large range of point clouds, the proposed solution uses down-sampling and learningbased super-resolution as pre- and post-processing steps. Compared to the MPEG point cloud coding standards, the proposed coding solution comfortably outperforms G-PCC, for both geometry, color, and joint quality metrics.
- IT/IST/IPLeiria Response to the Call for Proposals on JPEG Pleno Point Cloud CodingPublication . Guarda, André F. R.; Rodrigues, Nuno M. M.; Ruivo, Manuel; Coelho, Luís; Seleem, Abdelrahman; Pereira, FernandoThis document describes a deep learning (DL)-based point cloud (PC) geometry codec and a DL-based PC joint geometry and colour codec, submitted to the Call for Proposals on JPEG Pleno Point Cloud Coding issued in January 2022 [1]. These proposals have been originated by research developed at Instituto de Telecomunicações (IT), in the context of the project Deep-PCR entitled “Deep learning-based Point Cloud Representation” (PTDC/EEI-COM/1125/2021), financed by Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia (FCT).
