Point cloud compression is a pivotal technology for efficient storage and transmission of 3D point cloud data, which has significant implications for practical applications in virtual reality, autonomous driving, and cultural heritage preservation. In this paper, we propose a new learning-based model using the Retentive Network (RetNet) for point cloud compression, which achieves a lower bitrate while maintaining a high peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR). We first use an octree structure to segment the point cloud objects. Then, we use octree-based contextual windows to extract pivotal features from relevant sibling and ancestor nodes. Finally, we employ our proposed Octree-Retention model to effectively exploit the prior information between the spatially adjacent nodes for compression. The experimental results show that our method outperforms the state-of-the-art methods on both the LIDAR dataset(SemanticKITTI) and the object dataset(MPEG 8i), demonstrating its effectiveness.
