V-PCC Component Synchronization for Point Cloud Reconstruction

For a V-PCC1 system to be able to reconstruct a single instance of the point cloud one V-PCC unit must be transferred to the 3D point cloud reconstruction module. It is however required that all the V-PCC components i.e. occupancy map, geometry, atlas and attribute to be temporally aligned. This, in principle, could pose a challenge since the temporal structures of the decoded sub-bitstreams are not coherent across V-PCC sub-bitstreams. In this paper we propose an output delay adjustment mechanism for the decoded V-PCC sub-bitstreams to provide synchronized V-PCC components input to the point cloud reconstruction module.
