Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 17:
18. A method comprising:
receiving a point cloud that is defined with a plurality of points that are disconnected from one another and distributed in a three-dimensional (“3D”) space, wherein each point of the plurality of points is defined with positional data that defines a position of the point in the 3D space, and non-positional data that defines visual characteristics of the point at the position in the 3D space;
selecting a first emulated camera setting from a plurality of emulated camera settings with which to render the point cloud;
defining a first depth-of-field that extends from a position of a virtual camera in the 3D space to a first depth in the 3D space based on a first emulated configuration of the virtual camera with the first emulated camera setting;
determining a first set of points from the plurality of points positioned within the first depth-of-field, and a second set of points from the plurality of points positioned outside the first depth-of-field; and
applying different adjustments to one or more of the positional data or the non-positional data of the plurality of points based on the position of each point relative to the first depth-of-field, wherein applying the different adjustments comprises:
increasing an amount with which the one or more of the positional data or the non-positional data of a particular point is adjusted based on a distance between the position of the particular point and the first depth-of-field; and
adding noise to the second set of points outside the first depth-of-field by removing one or more points from the second set of points.
