CPC Class H04N

An example method of encoding a point cloud includes determining that residual values for all components except one component of an attribute of a point in the point cloud are equal to zero; based on the determination that the residual values for all components except the one component of the attribute are equal to zero, determining a value for the one component that is equal to a magnitude of a residual value of the one component of the attribute minus an offset; encoding the value of the one component; and signaling the encoded value in a bitstream.

Methods, apparatus, and computer readable storage medium for encoding/decoding video data in a decoder. The method includes receiving a first End of Block (EOB) flag associated with a first color component of a data block from the video data; deriving a context for entropy encoding the first EOB flag based on a second EOB flag associated with a second color component of the data block of the video data; and performing entropy decoding of the first EOB flag based on the derived context.

A method performed by a decoder to decode a bitstream and a decoder is provided. One or more syntax elements are decoded from the bitstream. A first value is derived from the one or more syntax elements. The first value is compared to a predetermined set of values that comprises at least two values. Whether the first value is within a predetermined range of values in the predetermined set of values is determined. Responsive to determining the first value is within the predetermined range of values in the predetermined set of values, it is determined that a location of an access unit boundary is indicated. Analogous methods performed by an encoder and an encoder are also provided.
