ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 2 -- United States Patent no. 12,646,222, issued on June 2, was assigned to InterDigital Patent Holdings Inc. (Wilmington, Del.).
"State summarization for binary voxel grid coding" was invented by Maurice Quach (Gif-sur-Yvette, France), Jiahao Pang (New York), Muhammad Asad Lodhi (New York), Dong Tian (New York), Giuseppe Valenzise (Gif-sur-Yvette, France) and Frederic Dufaux (Gif-sur-Yvette, France).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "In one implementation, we improve the binary voxel-based octree coding method, via a proposed state summarization module for context modeling. Given a current voxel to be encoded or decoded, instead of directly estimating its occupancy probabili...
