abstract = {We present a novel coder for lossless compression of adaptive multiresolution
meshes that exploits their special hierarchical structure. The heart
of our method is a new progressive connectivity coder that can be
combined with leading geometry encoding techniques. The compressor
uses the parent/child relationships inherent to the hierarchical
mesh. We use the rules that accord to the refinement scheme and store
bits only where it leaves freedom of choice, leading to compact codes
that are free of redundancy. To illustrate our scheme we chose the
widespread red-green refinement, but the underlying concepts can
be directly transferred to other adaptive refinement schemes as well.
The compression ratio of our method exceeds that of state-of-the-art
coders by a factor of 2 to~3 on most of our benchmark models.},
