Abstract
An optimization system reduces the data encoded within a point cloud for streaming and/or rendering of a lossy representation of the point cloud. The optimization system generates a first optimized splat for a first visual characteristic of the point cloud by replacing a first set of points having a first common value for the first visual characteristic with a first replacement primitive, and generates a second optimized splat for a second visual characteristic of the point cloud by replacing a second set of points having a second common value for the second visual characteristic with a second replacement primitive. The optimization system provides the first optimized splat and the second optimized splat instead of the original points of the point cloud in response to a request to access the point cloud.
