Multi-resolution meshes for multiple target, single content adaptation within the MPEG-21 framework

To present three-dimensional data both in heavy and light-weight clients, an adaptation scheme is required. Current state-of-the art research shows promising results for specific purposes but it is still not well adoptable for light-weight clients such as mobile devices. In this research, we present a method for transmitting adapted 3D content to multiple target devices. To accomplish this goal, we devised a clustered representation of a multi-resolution model that is flexible, simple, efficient, and works with the MPEG-21 adaptation mechanism.
