Subdivision surfaces in MPEG-4
نویسندگان
چکیده
SSs (Subdivision Surfaces) are a powerful modelling paradigm for truly hierarchical (instead of merely progressive) 3D surface (as opposed to mesh) coding. Two SS-based tools of MPEG-4’s Animation Framework eXtension allow to derive a piecewise smooth surface from an initial control mesh: if the subdivision process is run in its predefined form, the initial mesh is simply smoothed; if 3D details are added to the positions of the new vertices appearing after each subdivision step, a particular target surface may be approximated with an increasing accuracy. In both cases, multiresolution editing/animation is possible.

Implementation of MPEG-4’s Subdivision Surfaces Tools
This work is about the implementation of a MPEG-4 decoder for subdivision surfaces, which are powerful 3D paradigms allowing to compactly represent piecewise smooth surfaces. This ‘study’ will take place in the framework of MPEG-4 AFX, the extension of the MPEG-4 standard including the subdivision surfaces. This document will introduce, with some details, the ‘theory’ of subdivision surfaces in...
متن کاملHierarchical Coding of 3D Models with Subdivision Surfaces
We build on state of the art methods for multiresolution embedded coding of images, such as Said and Pearlman’s Set Partitioning In Hierarchical Trees, and combine them with ideas for 3D objects modelling with subdivision surfaces, to obtain a new technique for hierarchical 3D model coding. The compression ratios we obtain are better than or similar to previously reported ones but, perhaps more...
متن کاملLossy 3D Mesh Compression using Loop Scheme
Subdivision surfaces are finding their way into many Computer Aided Design and Animation packages. Popular choices include Loop, Catmull-Clark, Doo-Sabin etc. Subdivision surfaces have many design advantages over traditional use of Non Uniform Rational B-Splines (NURBs). 3D mesh compression has become necessary for transferring and browsing 3D objects over the internet. MPEG-4 has included enco...
متن کاملREVERSE LOOP SUBDIVISION FOR GEOMETRY AND TEXTURES
Reverse subdivision aims at constructing a coarser representation of an object given by a fine polygon mesh. In this paper, we first derive a mask for reverse Loop subdivision that can be applied to both regular and extraordinary vertices. The mask is parameterized, and thus can also be used in reversing variants of Loop subdivision, such as those proposed by Warren and Litke. We apply this mas...
متن کاملUsing Semi-Regular 4-8 Meshes for Subdivision Surfaces
Semi-regular 4–8 meshes are refinable triangulated quadrangulations. They provide a powerful hierarchical structure for multiresolution applications. In this paper, we show how to decompose the DooSabin and Catmull-Clark subdivision schemes using 4–8 refinement. The proposed technique makes it possible to use these classical subdivision surfaces with semi-regular 4–8 meshes. Additional
