Abstract
A 3D model can be modeled using 'pattern-instance' representation, wherein an instance component may be represented as transformation (for example, rotation, translation, and scaling) of a pattern. To improve compression efficiency, the quantization parameters for the rotation part and translation part for transformation of an instance can be determined based on the quantization parameter used for encoding a corresponding pattern. Specifically, the quantization parameter for the rotation part may depend on the size of the instance, and the quantization parameter for the translation part may depend on the scale of translation. That is, a larger instance may use a finer quantization parameter for the rotation part. The quantization parameters are so determined that quantization errors caused by compressing the patterns, the translation part of transformation, and the rotation part of transformation are at similar levels.
