Abstract:
1. A system to compress mesh data with random accessibility in a three-dimensional mesh model, the system comprising: a mesh data acquisition unit to acquire the mesh data from the three-dimensional mesh model having a plurality of cells defining at least one surface of the model; a wire mesh generation unit to generate a wire mesh including a plurality of wire cells by using the mesh data, each wire cell including at least two cells of the plurality of cells; a data structure generation unit to generate wire mesh information on the wire mesh and wire cell data including mesh data of the respective wire cells; and an encoding unit to compress the generated wire mesh information and the generated wire cell data, wherein: the wire mesh information comprises positions in a storage unit in which the corresponding mesh data of the respective wire cells is stored, and each cell is in the form of a polygon.
