Abstract
En 中文
Efficient Point Cloud Geometry Compression (PCGC) with a lower bits per point (BPP) and higher peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) is essential for the transportation of large-scale 3D data. Although octree-based entropy models can reduce BPP without introducing geometry distortion, existing CNN-based models struggle with limited receptive fields to capture long-range dependencies, while Transformer-built architectures always neglect fine-grained details due to their reliance on global self-attention. This paper presents a Transformer-efficient occupancy prediction Network, termed TopNet, to overcome these challenges by developing several novel components designed to enhance both global context modeling and local structure preservation: Locally-enhanced Context Encoding (LeCE) for improving local structural awareness and enhancing the translation-invariance of the octree nodes, Adaptive-Length Sliding Window Attention (AL-SWA) for capturing both global and local dependencies while adaptively adjusting attention weights based on the input window length, Spatial-Gated-enhanced Channel Mixer (SG-CM) for efficient feature aggregation from ancestors and siblings, and Latent-guided Node Occupancy Predictor (LNOP) for improving prediction accuracy of spatially adjacent octree nodes in local context. Comprehensive experiments across three large-scale outdoor sparse LiDAR datasets, including SemanticKITTI, nuScenes, and LiDAR-CS, as well as two indoor dense human body datasets, including 8iVFB and MVUB, and one indoor dense scenario dataset, ScanNet, demonstrate that our TopNet achieves state-of-the-art compression performance with fewer parameters.
