- 设计可学习的体素化网络,结合可微分的G-PCC代理模型联合优化
- 在保持兼容性前提下,平均比特率降低38.84%
- 仅需轻量级预处理,适配真实部署场景
基于几何的点云压缩(G-PCC)是MPEG制定的国际标准,能通用压缩各类点云并保障跨应用与设备的互操作性。尽管计算开销低,但其性能仍逊于最新深度学习方法。为在不牺牲互操作性与计算灵活性的前提下提升效率,本文提出一种新型预处理框架,融合面向压缩的体素化网络与可微分的G-PCC代理模型,在训练阶段联合优化。该代理模型模拟非可微的G-PCC编码器的码率-失真特性,实现端到端梯度传播。灵活的体素化网络通过学习式体素化、全局缩放、细粒度裁剪和点级编辑,动态调控点云以实现码率-失真权衡。推理时仅需在G-PCC编码器前添加轻量级体素化网络,无需修改解码器,对用户无额外计算开销。大量实验表明,相比原始G-PCC,平均BD-rate降低38.84%。本工作打通经典编码与深度学习的桥梁,为增强现有压缩标准提供了实用路径,同时保留向后兼容性,适合实际部署。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Geometry-based point cloud compression (G-PCC), an international standard designed by MPEG, provides a generic framework for compressing diverse types of point clouds while ensuring interoperability across applications and devices. However, G-PCC underperforms compared to recent deep learning-based PCC methods despite its lower computational power consumption. To enhance the efficiency of G-PCC without sacrificing its interoperability or computational flexibility, we propose a novel preprocessing framework that integrates a compression-oriented voxelization network with a differentiable G-PCC surrogate model, jointly optimized in the training phase. The surrogate model mimics the rate-distortion behaviour of the non-differentiable G-PCC codec, enabling end-to-end gradient propagation. The versatile voxelization network adaptively transforms input point clouds using learning-based voxelization and effectively manipulates point clouds via global scaling, fine-grained pruning, and point-level editing for rate-distortion trade-offs. During inference, only the lightweight voxelization network is appended to the G-PCC encoder, requiring no modifications to the decoder, thus introducing no computational overhead for end users. Extensive experiments demonstrate a 38.84% average BD-rate reduction over G-PCC. By bridging classical codecs with deep learning, this work offers a practical pathway to enhance legacy compression standards while preserving their backward compatibility, making it ideal for real-world deployment.
