An Adaptive Feature-based Quantization Algorithm for Point Cloud Compression

To reduce over-rasterization distortion caused by global uniform quantization for static surface point cloud, an adaptive quantization coding method based on feature mining is proposed. Combining spatial position and texture feature of point clouds with level of details, the quantization increment is dynamically set according to feature priority, which can reserve the number of effective points to the maximum extent, and reduce the rasterization distortion. Experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively enhance the subjective reconstruction quality of compressed point cloud, gaining better results of rate-distortion optimization.
