Angle-Analyzer: A triangle-quad mesh codec

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We present Angle-Analyzer, a new single-rate compression algorithm for triangle-quad hybrid meshes. Using a carefully-designed geometry-driven mesh traversal and an efficient encoding of intrinsic mesh properties, Angle-Analyzer produces compression ratios 40% better in connectivity and 20% better in geometry than the leading Touma and Gotsman technique for the same level of geometric distortion. The simplicity and performance of this new technique is demonstrated, and we provide extensive comparative tests to contrast our results with the current state-of-the-art techniques.
