Qualcomm had two patents in cloud during Q1 2024. Qualcomm Inc filed a patent for a point cloud encoder and decoder that convert Cartesian coordinates to spherical coordinates, including radius, azimuth value, and laser ID. The conversion for azimuth value uses a fixed-point implementation with a variable shift value based on the number of bits used for coding azimuth.

Application: Coordinate conversion for geometry point cloud compression (Patent ID: US20240029317A1)

Qualcomm Inc. has developed a point cloud encoder and decoder system that converts Cartesian coordinates of a point in point cloud data to spherical coordinates, including radius, azimuth value, and laser ID. The system utilizes a fixed-point implementation with a variable shift value based on the number of bits used for coding azimuth. This allows for efficient processing and coding of point cloud data.

The apparatus and method described in the patent involve deriving azimuth values for points from Cartesian coordinates using a fixed-point implementation with a variable shift value. The system further includes coding the point cloud data based on the azimuth values, enabling accurate representation and transmission of point cloud information. By utilizing functions to determine shift values and offsets, the system ensures precise conversion and encoding of data. Additionally, the patent covers aspects such as syntax elements, predictive geometry coding, and display of point cloud data, showcasing a comprehensive approach to processing and utilizing point cloud information efficiently.
