Package Basic.ExperimentalBinaryCompression

package Basic.ExperimentalBinaryCompression

Experimental Binary Compression algorithm models demonstrate the potential of geometric compression techniques.

These developmental examples illustrate how geometric compression based on text-based ASCII encodings might be integrated into X3D scenes via Prototype nodes that encapsulate Script processing. The file-size reduction technique Coding Polygon Meshes as Compressable ASCII by Martin Isenburg and Jack Snoeyink is documented in award-winning papers presented at the Web3D 2002 and 2003 Symposia. A Shout3D implementation demonstration is also available.

Further work on the X3D Compressed Binary Encoding (CBE) can be found at X3D Binary Compression Capabilities and Plans wiki page.

This X3D Basic: Experimental Binary Compression examples archive is online.

The X3D Java Scene Access Interface (x3djsail) package provides concrete classes for each X3D node and statement.
