- 基于维纳滤波改进点云重建质量,融入G-PCC编解码流程
- 在无损几何、有损属性配置下,码率平均降低6.1%~8.0%
- 结合分块分类与莫顿码加速搜索,计算开销可控
点云通过大量点直接记录场景或物体的几何与属性,在虚拟现实和沉浸式通信中广泛应用。但其数据量大且几何无结构,高效压缩至关重要。近年来,Moving Picture Expert Group 正在制定针对静态与动态点云的基于几何的点云压缩(G-PCC)标准。尽管G-PCC的有损压缩可实现极高压缩比,但在低比特率下重建质量仍较低。为此,本文提出一种高效维纳滤波器,可集成至G-PCC编码器与解码器流程中,提升动态点云的重建质量及率失真性能。具体地,先设计基础维纳滤波器,再通过系数继承与亮度分量方差分类进行优化;同时为降低滤波应用时最近邻搜索复杂度,提出基于莫顿码的快速最近邻搜索算法以高效计算滤波系数。实验表明,在无损几何、有损属性配置下,相比最新G-PCC编码平台(即几何基实体内容测试模型版本7.0发布候选版2),该方法在亮度、色度Cb、Cr分量上分别实现平均Bjøntegaard delta码率降低6.1%、7.3%和8.0%,且计算开销合理。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Point clouds, which directly record the geometry and attributes of scenes or objects by a large number of points, are widely used in various applications such as virtual reality and immersive communication. However, due to the huge data volume and unstructured geometry, efficient compression of point clouds is very crucial. The Moving Picture Expert Group is establishing a geometry-based point cloud compression (G-PCC) standard for both static and dynamic point clouds in recent years. Although lossy compression of G-PCC can achieve a very high compression ratio, the reconstruction quality is relatively low, especially at low bitrates. To mitigate this problem, we propose a high efficiency Wiener filter that can be integrated into the encoder and decoder pipeline of G-PCC to improve the reconstruction quality as well as the rate-distortion performance for dynamic point clouds. Specifically, we first propose a basic Wiener filter, and then improve it by introducing coefficients inheritance and variance-based point classification for the Luma component. Besides, to reduce the complexity of the nearest neighbor search during the application of the Wiener filter, we also propose a Morton code-based fast nearest neighbor search algorithm for efficient calculation of filter coefficients. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can achieve average Bjøntegaard delta rates of -6.1%, -7.3%, and -8.0% for Luma, Chroma Cb, and Chroma Cr components, respectively, under the condition of lossless-geometry-lossy-attributes configuration compared to the latest G-PCC encoding platform (i.e., geometry-based solid content test model version 7.0 release candidate 2) by consuming affordable computational complexity.
