Coding apparatus and method for orientation interpolator node

摘要

An encoding apparatus and method for an orientation interpolator node are provided. The encoding apparatus for an orientation interpolator node, which provides information on the rotation of an object in a 3-dimensional space, includes a field data input unit for extracting field data to be encoded at present from a key which indicates information on a position on a time axis where a change of a rotational movement on a time axis occurs and key values which indicate rotation information corresponding to the position information, by parsing the orientation interpolator node; an adaptive differential pulse code modulation (ADPCM) processing unit for converting the key value data into a quaternion, and then ADPCM processing the quaternion using a rotation differential converting matrix, and differential pulse code modulation (DPCM) processing the key data ; and a quantizing unit for quantizing the key data and key value data and outputting the quantized data.
