Abstract

This paper presents a new compression technique for 3D dynamic meshes, referred to as FAMC - Frame-based Animated Mesh Compression, recently promoted within the MPEG-4 standard as Amendement 2 of part 16 AFX (Animation Framework eXtension). The heart of the method is a skinning model optimally computed from a frame-based representation and exploited for compression purposes within the framework of a motion compensation strategy. The proposed encoder offers high compression performances (gains in bitrate of 60% with respect to the previous MPEG-4 technique and of 20 to 40% with respect to state-of-the-art approahes) and is well suited for compressing both geometric and photometric attributes.
