contents As three-dimensional acquisition technologies like LiDAR cameras advance, the need for efficient transmission of 3D point clouds is becoming increasingly important. In this paper, we present a novel semantic communication (SemCom) approach for efficient 3D point cloud transmission. Different from existing methods that rely on downsampling and feature extraction for compression, our approach utilizes a parallel structure to separately extract both global and local information from point clouds. This system is composed of five key components: local semantic encoder, global semantic encoder, channel encoder, channel decoder, and semantic decoder. Our numerical results indicate that this approach surpasses both the traditional Octree compression methodology and alternative deep learning-based strategies in terms of reconstruction quality. Moreover, our system is capable of achieving high-quality point cloud reconstruction under adverse channel conditions, specifically maintaining a reconstruction quality of over 37dB even with severe channel noise.
