Abstract
A method performed by at least one processor of an encoder includes bounding a mesh via a bounding box; partitioning the mesh via a global symmetry plane that partitions the mesh into a first side and a second side that is opposite to the first side; dividing the mesh into a plurality of slices; determining a local symmetry plane for each slice based on the global symmetry plane; based on a determination that a vertex merging condition is satisfied for a first slice from the plurality of slices that shares a boundary with a second slice from the plurality of slices, merging one or more vertices in the boundary of the second slice with one or more vertices in the boundary of the first slice; and encoding each slice from the plurality of slices as a respective sub-mesh of the mesh.
