US Patent 11580671 Hash-based attribute prediction for point cloud coding

A method, computer program, and computer system is provided for point cloud coding. Data corresponding to a point cloud is received. Hash elements corresponding to attribute values associated with the received data is reconstructed. A size of a hash table may be decreased based on deleting one or more of the hash elements corresponding to non-border regions associated with the attribute values. The data corresponding to the point cloud is decoded based on the reconstructed hash elements.
