Abstract
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.
