Abstract
An apparatus includes one or more processors, and one or more memories storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to: segment, for a frame of three-dimensional object data, a mesh of the three-dimensional object data into one or more patches; determine contours of the one or more patches, wherein the contours of the one or more patches comprise one or more vertices having one or more connected neighboring vertices belonging to another patch, or one or more vertices on a border of the mesh; generate a contour mesh of the three-dimensional object data using the contours of the one or more patches, wherein the contour mesh comprises a plurality of the one or more patches; and encode the contour mesh of the three-dimensional object data into a bitstream using a coding method.
