US Patent Issued to Malikie Innovations on June 10 for "Methods and devices for binary entropy coding of point clouds" (French Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 18 -- United States Patent no. 12,327,386, issued on June 10, was assigned to Malikie Innovations Ltd. (Dublin).

"Methods and devices for binary entropy coding of point clouds" was invented by Sebastien Lasserre (Thorigne-Fouillard, France).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Methods and devices for encoding a point cloud. A bit sequence signalling an occupancy pattern for sub-volumes of a volume is coded using binary entropy coding. For a given bit in the bit sequence, a context may be based on a sub-volume neighbour configuration for the sub-volume corresponding to that bit. The sub-volume neighbour configuration depends on an occupancy pattern of a group of sub-volumes of n...
