ALEXANDRIA, Va., Jan. 13 -- United States Patent no. 12,526,422, issued on Jan. 13, was assigned to QUALCOMM Inc. (San Diego).

"Entropy continuation and dependent frame entropy coding in point cloud compression" was invented by Adarsh Krishnan Ramasubramonian (Irvine, Calif.), Geert Van der Auwera (San Diego) and Marta Karczewicz (San Diego).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A method of encoding or decoding point cloud data includes signaling or parsing a slice level flag of a first slice, in coding order, of a current frame indicating to determine entropy coding states of the first slice of the current frame based on entropy coding states of a last slice, in coding order, of a previous frame of ...
