TEMPORAL PREDICTION BASED VERTEX POSITION COMPRESSION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18127487 titled 'TEMPORAL PREDICTION BASED VERTEX POSITION COMPRESSION

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for predicting the movement of vertices in a mesh over time.

  • The method determines neighboring vertices of a current vertex in a mesh at a specific time.
  • Each neighboring vertex is connected to the current vertex through an edge in the mesh.
  • The method calculates the estimation errors of the neighboring vertices by comparing their positions in a reference frame (at a different time) with their positions in the current frame.
  • A prediction residue is determined for the current vertex based on the neighboring estimation errors.
  • Prediction information for the current vertex is generated using the prediction residue.


Original Abstract Submitted

A plurality of neighboring vertices of a current vertex in a current frame of a mesh is determined. The current frame corresponds to the mesh at a first time instance. Each of the plurality of neighboring vertices is connected to the current vertex through a respective edge in the mesh. A plurality of neighboring estimation errors of the plurality of neighboring vertices is determined. Each of the plurality of neighboring estimation errors indicates a difference between a reference vertex of a corresponding one of the plurality of neighboring vertices in a reference frame and the corresponding one of the plurality of neighboring vertices in the current frame. The reference frame corresponds to the mesh at a second time instance. A prediction residue of the current vertex is determined based on the plurality of neighboring estimation errors. Prediction information of the current vertex is generated based on the determined prediction residue.
