Participate in Standards Development for Mesh Compression (IEEE P3366.2)

Introduction IEEE P3366.2 (Standard for Polygonal Mesh Compression) aims at the standardization of polygon mesh compression technologies. It specifies efficient coding tools for compression, decompression, processing, and packaging of volumetric data which can significantly reduce the disk storage and communication bandwidth. With the advent of technologies, the demand for more immersive experiences beyond the conventional 2-D video viewing continues to rise. 3D mesh can be used to form and represent 3D models and provide 6-Degree-of-Freedom (6DoF) viewing experience. A mesh usually consists of huge amounts of points, faces, connectivities, etc., thus efficient compression is critical for these 3D models to be used in many applications. To guarantee immersive experiences, the Volumetric Data Compression Working Group of the IEEE Computer Society Data Compression Standards Committee, which manages the development of this standard, views standardization of mesh compression as essential ...
