Abstract
According to embodiments herein, a device obtains visualization data that depicts at least one three-dimensional object. The device sanitizes the visualization data, in part by: identifying neighboring polygons of the at least one three-dimensional object and their windings, and correcting errors in the neighboring polygons and their windings. The device also decimates meshes of polygons in the sanitized visualization data, to form compressed visualization data, by: performing one or more sanity checks, prior to performing an atomic decimation operation or texture compression; and storing, by the device, the compressed visualization data in one or more files.
