3) Check the distribution of color values for the neighboring points of the points present on the boundary and determine whether smoothing is to be performed. For example, when the entropy of luminance values is less than or equal to a threshold local entry (there are many similar luminance values), it may be determined that the corresponding portion is not an edge portion, and smoothing may be performed. As a method of smoothing, the color value of the point may be replaced with the average of the color values of the neighboring points.
FIG. 18 is a flowchart illustrating operation of a transmission device according to embodiments of the present disclosure.
The transmission device according to the embodiments may correspond to the transmission device of FIG. 1, the encoding process of FIG. 4, and the 2D video/image encoder of FIG. 15, or perform some/all of the operations thereof. Each component of the transmission device may correspond to software, hardware, a processor and/or a combination thereof.
An operation process of the transmission terminal for compression and transmission of point cloud data using V-PCC may be performed as illustrated in the figure.
