Abstract: A system comprises an encoder configured to compress and encode data for a three-dimensional mesh. To compress the three-dimensional mesh, the encoder determines displacements to be applied to sub-division locations of a base mesh. In addition to signaling displacements, motion vectors for portions of the base mesh (e.g. sub-meshes) may be signaled. In this way, similarities in base mesh structure across multiple moments in time (or within a moment in time frame) may be exploited to further improve compression efficiency.
