ABSTRACT
The two main schemes for coding triangle mesh connectivity tra-
verse a mesh with similar region-growing operations. Rossignac’s
Edgebreaker uses triangle labels to encode the traversal whereas the
coder of Touma and Gotsman uses vertex degrees. Although both
schemes are guided by the same spiraling spanning tree, they pro-
cess triangles in a different order, making it difficult to understand
their similarities and to explain their varying compression success.
We describe a coding scheme that can operate like a label-based
coder similar to Edgebreaker or like a degree-based coder similar
to the TG coder. In either mode our coder processes vertices and
triangles in the same order by performing the so-called “split op-
erations” earlier than previous schemes. The main insights offered
by this unified view are (a) that compression rates depend mainly
on the choice of decoding strategy and less on whether labels or
degrees are used and (b) how to do degree coding without storing
“split” offsets. Furthermore we describe a new heuristic that allows
the TG coder’s bit-rates to drop below the vertex degree entropy.

1 INTRODUCTION
A number of schemes for coding the connectivity of triangular
meshes have been proposed [3, 11, 14]. All these schemes grow a
region on the mesh by including triangle after triangle into a bound-
ary and encode a sequence of symbols that documents this process.
The Edgebreaker scheme [11] and the Cut-border Machine [3] are
label-based approaches. They encode for each triangle how its in-
clusion changes the boundary using one of five labels. The TG
coder [14] is a degree-based approach. It only enco
