In this paper, we propose new coding techniques for photometry data of three-dimensional(3-D) mesh models. We make a good use of geometry and connectivity information to improve coding efficiency of color, normal vector, and texture data. First of all, we determine the coding order of photometry data exploiting connectivity information. Then, we exploit the obtained geometry information of neighboring vortices through the previous process to predict the photometry data. For color coding, the predicted color of the current vertex is computed by a weighted sum of colors for adjacent vortices considering geometrical characteristics between the current vortex and the adjacent vortices at the geometry predictor. For normal vector coding, the normal vector of the current vertex is equal to one of the optimal plane produced by the optimal plane generator with distance equalizer owing to the property of an isosceles triangle. For texture coding, our proposed method removes discontinuity in the texture coordinates and reallocates texture image segments according to the coding order. Simulation results show that the proposed compression schemes provide improved performance over previous works for various 3-D mesh models.

The purpose of this paper is to design the architecture for synchronization of MB-OFDM UWB system that is being processed the standardization for Alt-PHY of WPAN(Wireless Personal Area Network) at IEEE802.15.3a and to analyze the implementation loss due to 4 parallel synchronization architecture for design or link margin. First an overview of the MB-OFDM UWB system based on IEEE802.15.3a Alt-PHY standard is described. The effects of non-ideal transmission conditions of the MB-OFDM UWB system including carrier frequency offset and sampling clock offset are analyzed to design a full digital architecture for synchronization. The synchronization architecture using 4-parallel structure is then proposed to consider the VLSI implementation including algorithms for carrier frequency offset and sampling clock offset to minimize the effects of synchronization errors. The overall performance degradation due to the proposed synchronization architecture is simulated to be with maximum 3.08 dB of the ideal receiver in maximum carrier frequency offset and sampling clock offset tolerance fir MB-OFDM UWB system.
