Claim 12:
13. An apparatus comprising one or more processors configured to:
decode at least one attribute of first 3D samples, wherein the at least one attribute of said first 3D samples is decoded from at least one first attribute patch of 2D samples, wherein said first 3D samples being 3D samples whose 3D coordinates are decoded as pixel values of a patch of a geometry image;
decode at least one attribute of in-between 3D samples, in-between 3D samples being 3D samples of the point cloud located between two orthogonally projected 3D samples of the point cloud along a same projection line, wherein the at least one attribute of in-between 3D samples is decoded as at least one second attribute patch of 2D samples; and
decode an information indicating whether said at least one first attribute patch of 2D samples and said at least one second attribute patch of 2D samples are stored in separate images,
wherein the information comprises
a first flag that indicates whether said at least one first attribute patch of 2D samples is stored in a first image or if said at least one first attribute patch of 2D samples is stored with an other attribute patch of 2D samples in a second image, and
a second flag that indicates whether said at least one second attribute patch of 2D samples is stored in a third image or if said at least one second attribute patch of 2D samples is stored with the other attribute patch of 2D samples in said second image.
