With MPEG-4 3D mesh coding(3DMC), the problem of the need of a wide bandwidth can be solved to store and transmit 3D information because of its high compression rate. And to realize the 3D information service with broadcasting or internet, one needs to transmit not only the 3D contents but also the 3D player. Therefore, in this paper we implement a 3D player based on MPEG-4 using a java language. A well-known java language employed in this paper provides the player with a wider range of applications, for example, when the O/S or the platform are different, due to its properties of scalability and universality. The implemented player which has functions (translation, rotation, etc) that can manipulate contents decodes the 3D contents and displays them. In addition, the player has a network function that receives a 3D content from the server. This paper explains the architecture and characteristics of the player and shows its simulation results.

3차원 Polygonal Mesh는 그래픽스, 에니메이션, 게임에서 3차원 객체에 대한 표현에 사용되고, 이러한 3차원 모델에 대한 IndexedFaceSet 노드에 3차원 정전정보와 연결정보를 압축하는데 MPEG-4 3DMC를 사용한다. 이러한 연결정보는 다각형의 Mesh 형태로 3차원 모델을 구성하는 정보를 갖는데, 이는 Tepological Surgery 라고 하는 방법을 통해서 2차원의 스트립 단위의 데이터로 분해된다. 이러한 3D 데이터는 방송환경과 같은 재전송이 불가능한 네트워크의 환경에서 유무선 네트워크 상에서 채널문제로 인해서 데이터의 손실이 있게 되면, 복호화 된 데이터는 데이터의 손상이 발생하게 된다. 이러한 현상은 3D 모델의 좌표의 연결정보에 손상을 주게 되고, 여기서 복호화 된 데이터는 스트립 단위로 손상이 발생하게 된다. 이러한 현상은 3차원 모델의 좌표의 연결정보에 손상을 주게 된다. 본 논문은 이러한 3차원 정보의 손상을 효과적으로 복원하기 위한 연구에 관한 것이며, Mesh의 면을 이루는 각 꼭지점의 좌표들의 연결 정보가 손실되지 않는 스트립에서는 약간의 차이는 있을 수 있으나, 완벽한 복원을 하였고, 두 개 이상의 스트립이 붙어서 손상된 경우나, 좌표의 연결 정보가 없는 경우에는 조건에 따라 현저히 좋은 격과를 얻을 수 있었다.

Previous works related to texture coordinate coding of the three-dimensional(3-D) mesh models employed the same predictor as the geometry coder. However, discontinuities in the texture coordinates cause unreasonable prediction. Especially, discontinuities become more serious for the 3-D mesh model with a non-atlas texture image. In this paper, we propose a new coding scheme to remove discontinuities in the texture coordinates by reallocating texture segments according to a coding order. Experiment results show that the proposed coding scheme outperforms the MPEG-4 3DMC standard in terms of compression efficiency. The proposed scheme not only overcome the discontinuity problem by regenerating a texture image, but also improve coding efficiency of texture coordinate compression.

Three-dimensional (3-D) texture coordinates mean the position information of torture segments that are mapped into polygons in a 3-D mesh model. In order to compress texture coordinates, previous works reused the same linear predictor that had already been employed to code geometry data. However, the previous approaches could not carry out linear prediction efficiently since texture coordinates were discontinuous along a coding order. Especially, discontinuities of texture coordinates became more serious in the 3-D mesh model including a non-atlas texture. In this paper, we propose a new scheme to code 3-D texture coordinates using as a texture image rearrangement. The proposed coding scheme first extracts texture segments from a texture. Then, we rearrange the texture segments consecutively along the coding order, and apply a linear prediction to compress texture coordinates. Since the proposed scheme minimizes discontinuities of texture coordinates, we can improve coding efficiency of texture coordinates. Experiment results show that the proposed scheme outperforms the MPEG-4 3DMC standard in terms of coding efficiency.
