COST-DRIVEN FRAMEWORK FOR PROGRESSIVE COMPRESSION OF TEXTURED MESHES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18160847 titled 'COST-DRIVEN FRAMEWORK FOR PROGRESSIVE COMPRESSION OF TEXTURED MESHES

Simplified Explanation

The patent application discusses techniques for compressing level of detail (LOD) data.

  • LOD data compression involves sharing a texture image LOD among different mesh LODs for single-rate encoding.
  • This means that a first texture image LOD can be created by refining a second texture image LOD.
  • Sharing is possible when texture atlases of LOD meshes are compatible.


Original Abstract Submitted

Techniques of compressing level of detail (LOD) data involve sharing a texture image LOD among different mesh LODs for single-rate encoding. That is, a first texture image LOD corresponding to a first mesh LOD may be derived by refining a second texture image LOD corresponding to a second mesh LOD. This sharing is possible when texture atlases of LOD meshes are compatible.
