Abstract

Encoding/decoding data representative of a 3D representation of a scene according to a range of points of view can involve generating a depth map associated with a part of the 3D representation according to a parameter representative of a two-dimensional parameterization associated with the part and data associated with a point included in the part, wherein the two-dimensional parameterization can be responsive to geometric information associated with the point and to pose information associated with the range of points of view. A texture map associated with the part can be generated according to the parameter and data associated with the point. First information representative of point density of points in a part of the part can be obtained. The depth map, texture map, parameter, and first information can be included in respective syntax elements of a bitstream.
