Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed is a method and apparatus for encoding a three-dimensional (3D) mesh. The method for encoding the 3D mesh includes determining a priority of a gate configuring a 3D mesh corresponding to a 3D object, removing vertices configuring the 3D mesh using the determined priority of the gate, and simplifying the 3D mesh.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for encoding a three-dimensional (3D) mesh, the method comprising: determining a priority of a gate configuring a 3D mesh based on valence information on boundary vertices, tag information on vertices configuring a patch, and a null patch; simplifying a 3D mesh by removing a vertex based on the priority of the gate; and encoding connectivity information of a vertex removed from a plurality of vertices configuring the 3D mesh through the si…
