ALEXANDRIA, Va., Nov. 18 -- United States Patent no. 12,475,605, issued on Nov. 18, was assigned to Adeia Guides Inc. (San Jose, Calif.).
"Systems and methods for mesh geometry prediction based on a centroid-normal representation" was invented by Zhu Li (Overland Park, Kan.) and Tao Chen (Palo Alto, Calif.).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Systems and methods are provided for predictive mesh coding based on a centroid-normal (C-N) representation. An encoder generates C-N representations of a high-resolution (hi-res) mesh and a downscaling of the mesh (lo-res mesh), each representation having respective centroids and normals. The encoder generates predicted centroids corresponding to the hi-res m...
