ICIP Satellite Workshop on Point Cloud Compression - Advances in Technology Development

Recent advances in sensor technologies and algorithms, e.g., LiDAR and radar systems and ultra-high resolution camera arrays, have facilitated point cloud acquisition and processing in vast applications like autonomous machinery and immersive communication. Given that point cloud data often present an excessive amount of random, unstructured points in a 3D space, efficient compression of the point cloud is highly desired for its successful service enabling, especially for networked applications. In this workshop, we will review the latest advances in point cloud compression, including coding tool development, (in loop or post) processing filters, quality assessment, as well as standardization progress.
