Abstract

At least one embodiment relates to a method comprising encoding a projection mode associated with an image region of a first depth image, said projection mode indicating if said image region stores either the minimum or the maximum depth value of at least one orthogonally projected 3D point of the point cloud along a same projection direction; and encoding said depth minimum and maximum depth values as a function of said projection mode.
