Compressing, Streaming, and Processing of Large Polygon Meshes

This document proposes a set of deliverables for which—upon completion—I hope to be given the PhD degree. In the next section I motivate why I should spend four years of my life and several ten-thousand dollars of my supervisor’s grant money into the development of various algorithms that operate on polygon meshes. In Section 2 I detail the research contributions that I aim to achieve in the order they lead from one to the next. At the same time I reference the research literature that I will familiarize myself in the course of carrying out the proposed research. In Section 3 I list completed milestones and estimated completion dates for missing milestones. In the last section I anticipate the immediate and the potential impact of my work on the field mesh processing.
