ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 9 -- United States Patent no. 12,354,221, issued on July 8, was assigned to Apple Inc. (Cupertino, Calif.).
"Attribute transfer for efficient dynamic mesh coding" was invented by Khaled Mammou (Danville, Calif.), Alexandros Tourapis (Los Gatos, Calif.) and Jungsun Kim (Sunnyvale, Calif.).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A three-dimensional (3D) mesh encoder is provided. The 3D mesh encoder can include a pre-processing stage configured to generate the mesh M by re-sampling the mesh M and computing a new atlas of parametrization with a fewer number of patches and relatively lower parameterization distortion. The 3D mesh encoder may include an attribute transfer stage for tran...
