N2 - Recently, the MPEG-4 standard adopted a novel technology for compression of dynamic 3D meshes with constant connectivity and time-varying geometry, refered to as FAMC-Frame-based Animated Mesh Compression. In this paper, we propose two optimizations of the FAMC approach, aiming at improving the compression efficiency. The first one is based on a PCA (Principal Component Analysis) decomposition of the motion compensation error residuals. The second improves the bi-orthogonal (4-2) wavelet coding approach supported by the standard, by introducing an optimal bit allocation procedure, combined with an adapted quantization of wavelet coefficients. Experimental results show that both optimizations lead to significant gains in compression rate (about 20-30%) at low bitrates.
