Original Abstract Submitted
According to one or more embodiments, a method of encoding a mesh includes: determining a global symmetry plane of the mesh that divides the mesh into a first side and a second side; based on the determination that the mesh is partially symmetric: determining each vertex from the plurality of vertices having a symmetry error larger than a first error threshold; performing a clustering process on the plurality of vertices based on the determined symmetry error for each vertex such that each vertex having a symmetry error larger than the first symmetry error threshold is clustered together in one or more clusters; dividing the mesh into a plurality of sub-meshes based on the clustering process; determining whether each sub-mesh is one of fully symmetric, partially symmetric, and asymmetric; and performing symmetry coding on each sub-mesh from the plurality of sub-meshes that is determined to be fully symmetric.
