Point Cloud which is a cluster of numerous points can express 3D object beyond the 2D plane. Each point contains 3D coordinate and color data basically, reflectance or etc. additionally. Point Cloud demand research and development much higher effective compression technology. Video-based Point Cloud Compression (V-PCC) technology in development and standardization based on the established video codec. Despite its high effective compression technology, point cloud service will be limited by terminal spec and network conditions. 2D video had the same problems. To remedy this kind of problem, 2D video is using Scalable High efficiency Video Coding (SHVC), Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) or diverse technology. This paper proposed a density scalability method using SHVC codec in V-PCC.

The moving picture experts group (MPEG) immersive video (MIV) coding standard has been established to support six degrees of freedom (6DoF) in virtual reality (VR) by transmitting high-quality multiple immersive videos. The MIV exploits two approaches considering tradeoff between bandwidth and computational complexity: 1) eliminating correlation between multi-view videos or 2) selecting representative videos. This paper presents performance analysis on intermediate synthesized views on source view positions and synthesized pose traces using high-efficiency video coding (HEVC) and versatile video coding (VVC) for above-mentioned two approaches.

본 논문에서는 360 도 VR 영상을 전송하는 기법의 일종인 타일 기반 전송을 MMT(MPEG Media Transport) 프로토콜 기반으로 구현하기 위하여 영상의 공간 분할 정보를 전달하는 방법을 소개한다. 360 도 VR 영상 전송은 대용량 미디어 전송인 동시에 사용자의 움직임에 따라 신속하게 적응적 영상을 전달해야 한다. 타일 기반 전송은 HEVC(High Efficiency Video Coding)의 MCTS(Motion Constrained Tile Sets) 기법을 이용하여 뷰포트에 해당하는 타일들을 고화질로 전달함으로써 이러한 요구사항을 해결한다. 반면, MMT 프로토콜은 초저지연 고화질 영상 전송에 유리한 기술로써 사용자의 시점 변화에 따라 기민하게 영상의 품질을 변환시킬 수 있다. 따라서 HEVC 의 SEI(Supplemental Enhancement Information) 메시지에 포함되는 타일들의 공간 분할 정보를 MMT 프로토콜에 적용하는 방식에 따라 적응적 타일 기반 전송 기법의 효율을 높일 수 있다.

Video based Point Cloud Compression (V-PCC) is one of the compression methods for compressing point clouds, and shows high efficiency in dynamic point cloud compression with movement due to the feature of compressing point cloud data using an existing video codec. Accordingly, V-PCC is drawing attention as a core technology for immersive content services such as AR/VR. In order to effectively service these V-PCC contents through a media streaming platform, it is necessary to encapsulate them in the existing media file format, ISO based Media File Format (ISOBMFF). However, in order to service through an adaptive streaming platform such as Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH), it is necessary to encode V-PCC contents of various qualities and store them in the server. Due to the size of the 2D media, it causes a great burden on the encoder and the server compared to the existing 2D media. As a method to solve such a problem, it may be considered to configure a streaming platform based on content obtained through V-PCC content encoding based on SHVC. Therefore, this paper encapsulates the SHVC-based V-PCC bitstream into ISOBMFF suitable for DASH service and proposes a configuration method to service it. In addition, in this paper, we propose ISOBMFF encapsulation and DASH configuration method to effectively service SHVC-based V-PCC contents, and confirm them through verification experiments.
