  • Patent number: 12125250
    Abstract: Processing circuitry decodes a texture map in 2D from a bitstream carrying a 3D mesh frame. The 3D mesh frame represents a surface of an object with polygons and is partitioned into patches. The texture map includes transformed patches with transformed UV coordinates that are transformed from original UV coordinates of the patches according to remap transform parameters. The processing circuitry decodes the remap transform parameters associated with the patches and generates a recovered texture map from the texture map according to the remap transform parameters. At least a first recovered pixel in the recovered texture map is assigned with a texture value at a first transformed position in the texture map, the first transformed position in the texture map is determined according to a pixel position of the first recovered pixel and first remap transform parameters associated with a first patch that the first recovered pixel belongs to.
