@conference {2715, title = {Integration of 3D Mesh Streaming and Compression Techniques for Adaptive progressive Virtual World Transmission in NVEs}, booktitle = {7th Virtual Reality Unternational Conference (VRIC), Laval, France}, year = {2005}, month = {20 - 22 April}, pages = { 235 - 244}, abstract = {In this paper, we present a framework for exploiting three-dimensional (3D) mesh streaming and compression techniques and algorithms in order to improve the performance of our EVE-II Networked Virtual Environments platform. These improvements are related to the progressive transmission of 3D worlds or separate meshes. We also present a 3D mesh compression method focused on network communication, which is designed to support progressive mesh transmission, offering a fast and effective means of reducing the storage and transmission needs for geometrical data.}, author = {Christos Bouras and Thrasivoulos Tsiatsos and Alexandros Panagopoulos} }
