Abstract
An encoder includes a processor and a memory. The encoder may perform a method of progressive compression. In one example implementation, the method may include determining priority values associated with collapse of each edge of a plurality of edges. The method may further include selecting a first edge from the plurality of edges, determining adjusted priority values of edges in a vicinity of the selected first edge, selecting a second edge from remaining edges of the plurality of edges after the selecting of the first edge, and collapsing the selected edges such that vertex split information is generated that is based on the collapsing of the selected edges. In some implementations, the method may further include entropy encoding of the vertex split information.
