Comparative Study of 3D Model Transmission Strategies over Unreliable Network

Abstract

Three-dimensional models are being used in more and more applications. Although the ever increasing computing power of personal computers has been providing strong support to these applications, unreliable network is still a restricting factor, especially for mobile applications. As such, we in this work study several different broad strategies for 3D model transmission over unreliable network and comparatively analyze the advantages and disadvantages of each strategy. On one hand, this comparative study can guide the selection of an appropriate strategy for concrete applications; on the other, it provides a starting point for deeper investigation in robust and efficient 3D mesh transmission over unreliable network.
