This page demonstrates the possibilities of animated mesh compression for web presentations. We have used the Silverlight 5 for accelerated 3D rendering and the Coddyac and Cobra algorithms for mesh compression and decompression. If you cannot see the applet, please download and install the Silverlight 5 Runtime from this link: http://www.silverlight.net/downloads
You can change the viewer position using the WASD keys, switch to wireframe mode using the Q key. It is possible to look around by dragging the mouse within the player window.
The compression algorithms are described in detail in following papers:
- Váša,L., Skala,V.: CoDDyAC: Connectivity Driven Dynamic Mesh Compression, 3DTV Conference 2007.
- Váša,L., Skala,V.: COBRA: Compression of the Basis for PCA Represented Animations, Computer Graphics Forum, Vol. 28(6), pp. 1529-1540, 2009.
The player has been created by Ing. Jan Rus as part of his bachelor thesis.
