Abstract

In this paper we present an efficient face-based connectivity coding technique for the special class of quadrilateral and the hybrid triangular-quadrilateral meshes. This work extends the main ideas of non-split encoding presented by the first contribution of the authors (Khattab, Abd El-Latif, Abdel Wahab and Tolba, 2007) for triangle meshes and improves over the compression results provided so far for existing face-based connectivity compression techniques. It achieves an average compression ratio of 2.17 bits per quad and per vertex for simple quadrilateral meshes and bit rates of 1.84 bits per polygon and 1.85 bits per vertex for the simple hybrid triangle-quad meshes.
