Abstract

We introduce an efficient compression method for animated sequences of irregular meshes of the same connectivity. Our approach is to transform the original input meshes with an anisotropic wavelet transform running on top of a progressive mesh hierarchy, and progressively encode the resulting wavelet details. For temporally coherent mesh sequences we get additional improvement by encoding the differences of the wavelet coefficients. The resulting compression scheme is scalable, efficient, and significantly improves upon the current state of the art for the animated mesh compression.
