MUMBAI, India, Nov. 21 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202517097886 A) filed by Interdigital Ce Patent Holdings, Sas, Paris, on Oct. 10, for 'methods and apparatus for hybrid intra/inter compression scheme for point cloud attributes.'

Inventor(s) include Chupeau, Bertrand; Sandri, Gustavo; and Thudor, Franck.

The application for the patent was published on Nov. 21, under issue no. 47/2025.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Methods and devices for encoding and decoding a sequence of dense point clouds are disclosed. The described compression scheme of dense point cloud sequences takes advantage of the temporal redundancy between successive point cloud frames in a sequence of dynamic point clouds to achieve enhanced compression performance for point cloud rendering attributes. Also, in a dynamic point cloud, not all object parts can be predicted from the previous point cloud frame. Some parts are more efficiently predicted in an intra mode, that is from already decoded parts of the current point cloud frame, either at a coarser resolution or from a causal decoding neighbourhood. According to the present principles, a hybrid intra/inter compression scheme is set."

The patent application was internationally filed on Apr. 05, 2024, under International application No.PCT/EP2024/059316.
