Abstract
Systems and methods for mesh generation from depth images are provided. According to one aspect, a method executable by a compression device for sending compressed depth information is provided. The method may comprise, at a compression module executed on the compression device, receiving a depth image of a scene from a depth camera. The depth image may include a matrix of pixels, each pixel in the matrix including a depth value indicating a depth of an object in the scene observed at that pixel. The method may further comprise compressing the depth image into a tree data structure, and sending the tree data structure via a communication path to a rendering device for generating a mesh of the scene at the rendering device.
