3-D object mesh geometry compression with vector quantization

IEEE 12th Signal Processing and Communications Applications Conference -- APR 28-30, 2004 -- Kusadasi, TURKEYWOS: 000225861200076In this study, the objective is to develop a new combined method for efficient compression of classical 3-D object mesh representation. This can be realized in two primary steps: Mesh connectivity coding and data (geometry) compression. For realizing the first step, the algorithm of Isenburg [1] has been employed. For the second step, vector quantization methods have been used to compress the vertex coordinate. The difference between our study and the others is that our study uses ECVQ method for vertex coordinate compression to improve the results.IEEE, Tubitak, Istanbul Teknik Univ, Aselsan, Profile Telre, TURCom, Sgi, Datacore, Divi
