Abstract
This paper details the first publicly available implementation of the
progressive mesh compression algorithm described in the paper entitled
"Compressed Progressive Meshes" [R. Pajarola and J. Rossignac, IEEE
Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics, 6 (2000), pp.
79-93]. Our implementation is generic, modular, and includes several
improvements in the stopping criteria and final encoding. Given an input
2-manifold triangle mesh, an iterative simplification is performed,
involving batches of edge collapse operations guided by an error metric.
During this compression step, all the information necessary for the
reconstruction (at the decompression step) is recorded and compressed
using several key features: geometric quantization, prediction, and
spanning tree encoding. Our implementation allowed us to carry out an
experimental comparison of several settings for the key parameters of
the algorithm: the local error metric, the position type of the
resulting vertex (after collapse), and the geometric predictor.
