AVS Point Cloud Compression Standard

The development of point cloud compression standards has become a necessary method for technological development in emerging fields such as autonomous driving and digital twins. In March 2019, AVS Working Group launched an independent project to develop point cloud compression standard (AVS PCC) to fulfill the requirements of industries in China. AVS PCC standard aims to effectively compress and represent LiDAR point cloud data for both static and dynamic acquisition scenarios in the field of autonomous driving. It also takes into account the compression and representation of point cloud data for digital cultural heritage and dynamic characters. Focusing on the requirements of lossless and limited lossy compression of geometry information, AVS PCC has been developing the first-generation standard, supporting efficient compression of high-precision and high-dimensional point cloud data.
