A Survey on Recent Approaches of Mesh Compressions

In this paper, we give a survey on mesh compression approaches of the past few years. Since this technique has gradually become mature, we not only have summarized the previous methods such as single-rate mesh compression and progressive mesh compression, but also review mesh compression methods with random accessibility. The classification for each kind of methods is given, and the trend of mesh compression techniques development is analyzed based on the limitation of the current approaches.
