Abstract
An apparatus performs an encoding process including: obtaining a mesh representation of a 3D object; segmenting the mesh representation into 2D projections; reconstructing a 3D mesh from the segmented 2D projections by stitching reconstructed patches, the patches being submeshes of the reconstructed 3D mesh, the stitching performing border fusion based at least on curvature of the patches, to derive parameters for the stitching; and encoding the segmented 2D projections into a bitstream. The apparatus signals the parameters in or along with the bitstream and transmits. An apparatus performing decoding receives the bitstream and signaled parameters, reconstructs a 3D mesh from the segmented 2D projections, and stitches reconstructed submeshes created during the reconstruction together at least as patches, the stitching using the signaled parameters to fuse together pairs of vertices for borders of corresponding patches. The apparatus outputs a modified 3D mesh based at least on the stitching.
