Abstract

3D discretized objects become more and more present in many applications for computer graphics. The need to store and transmit these data grows permanently. This paper introduces a new scheme of 3D object progressive transmission. It is based on an union of cone sections and balls selected from the medial axis and optimized for a better scalability in terms of bit rates and quality. This representation of a 3D object is a lossless approach and is very efficient for compression and progressive transmission, as shown in the results presented in this paper.
