Abstract
A method of texture encoding is provided. The method includes obtaining a plurality of textures, assembling a sequence of textures by selecting a first texture of the sequence of textures and then, one or more times, adding to the sequence of textures a texture from the plurality of textures that is calculated to be the one most similar to the current last texture in the sequence of textures. The method then encodes the assembled sequence of textures using a motion vector based video encoding scheme. Meanwhile, a method of texture decoding includes receiving a data file encoded using a motion vector based video encoding scheme, decoding the data file using a corresponding motion vector based video decoding scheme, and obtaining from the decoding scheme a sequence of textures arranged in an order of mutual similarity.
