DUPLICATE VERTICES MERGING IN MESH COMPRESSION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18208138 titled 'DUPLICATE VERTICES MERGING IN MESH COMPRESSION
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for generating a base mesh from a down-sampled input mesh and determining a prediction mode to be applied to the base mesh, either inter or intra prediction mode. If the intra prediction mode is determined, duplicate vertices in the base mesh are merged to generate a subset of vertices, which are then encoded based on the determined prediction mode to generate prediction information.
- Base mesh generation from down-sampled input mesh
- Determination of prediction mode (inter or intra)

Original Abstract Submitted
In a method, a base mesh is generated from a down-sampled input mesh in a current frame, where the base mesh includes a plurality of vertices. A prediction mode to be applied to the base mesh is determined. The prediction mode is an inter prediction mode or an intra prediction mode. Based on the prediction mode being determined as the intra prediction mode, duplicate vertices among the plurality of vertices in the base mesh are merged to generate a subset of the plurality of vertices. At least the subset of the plurality of vertices is encoded based on the determined intra prediction mode to generate prediction information of at least the subset of the plurality of vertices.
