Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure provide methods and apparatuses for mesh coding (e.g., compression and decompression). In some examples, an apparatus for mesh coding includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry decodes, using a point cloud compression (PCC) decoder and from a bitstream, a point cloud that includes points corresponding to at least one of vertices in a mesh or sampling points of polygons in the mesh. The processing circuitry determines, based on the point cloud, estimated connectivity information of the vertices in the mesh, and generate, a reconstructed mesh frame based on the point cloud and the estimated connectivity information.
