Abstract
A method of compressing a 3D textured mesh M(i), the 3D textured mesh being defined by connectivity C(i), geometry G(i), texture coordinates T(i), and texture connectivity CT(i), wherein the mesh is associated with one or more 2D image attribute maps A(i) describing attributes associated with the mesh surface, can include pre-processing 3D textured mesh M(i) and attribute maps A(i) to generate a base mesh m(i) and displacement field d(i); and processing 3D textured mesh M(i), attribute maps A(i), base mesh m(i), and the displacement field d(i) to generate a compressed bitstream b(i).
