FIELD: encoding.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a method, a machine-readable storage medium, and an apparatus for encoding a point cloud. In the method, a processor is used to determine one or more source points in the point cloud, linked with the reconstructed position, wherein the positions of one or more source points are reconstructed in accordance with the quantisation of geometry into the reconstructed position; the processor is used to determine the attribute value for the reconstructed position, based on the attribute information, for said one or more source points; and the processor is used to encode the texture of the point cloud using the reconstructed position with the above determined attribute value.
EFFECT: increase in the speed of encoding a point cloud.
