Methods and systems for compressing and decompressing 3-D geometry data which includes regularly tiled surface portions. One compression method includes representing a surface portion as a "vertex raster", which comprises specifying an extent value and encoding the vertex parameter values of vertices within the surface portion. The extent of the surface portion specifies the arrangement of vertices within the surface portion, and allows the vertices to be properly assembled into drawing primitives during decompression. The encoded vertex parameter values may be encoded globally (by setting initial values and corresponding delta values), locally (on a per-vertex basis), or using a combination of these techniques. Absolute, delta encoding, or delta-delta encoding may be utilized for these parameter values. Vertex parameters which may be encoded in this manner include position, color, normals, z-displacement values, texture map coordinates, and surface material properties. Additionally, connectivity information may also be encoded using this compression method by specifying quad split bits and half-resolution edges. Quad split bits are used to tessellate a quadrilateral formed by neighboring vertices of a surface portion according to the direction of the strongest color change. Half-resolution edges are utilized to gradually shift from an area of high resolution to an adjacent surface portion represented in lower resolution. For graphical objects which include a plurality of adjacent surface portions, a step command is disclosed which allows data from one surface portion to be advantageously reused. Decompression of a vertex raster representation may comprise decoding the extent value, global parameter values, and a per-vertex stream of local parameter values.

Systems and methods are described for avoiding redundant data transfers using delta coding techniques when reliably and opportunistically communicating data to multiple user systems. According to embodiments, user systems track received block sequences for locally stored content blocks. An intermediate server intercepts content requests between user systems and target hosts, and deterministically chucks and fingerprints content data received in response to those requests. A fingerprint of a received content block is communicated to the requesting user system, and the user system determines based on the fingerprint whether the corresponding content block matches a content block that is already locally stored. If so, the user system returns a set of fingerprints representing a sequence of next content blocks that were previously stored after the matching content block. The intermediate server can then send only those content data blocks that are not already locally stored at the user system according to the returned set of fingerprints.

A system orders a set of objects to be optimally compressed using techniques such as delta encoding which compress data by saving differences between sequential objects. In one embodiment, the system determines transition costs associated with transitioning from each object in the set to each other object in the set. The system determines an ordering of the objects that minimizes a total of all the transition costs and compresses the set in the determined order. In another embodiment, the system determines an estimated optimal ordering for data compression. The system extracts feature values from the objects and applies a projection function to the feature values to generate scalar representations of the objects, for example, by projecting the feature values onto a space filling curve. An ordering of the scalar values for the objects determines an ordering for compressing the objects.

A geometry compression method for sort middle, screen space, graphics of the standard graphics pipeline. The pipeline processes a 3D database having geometric objects such as triangles and textures into a display image which may be shown to the user on a display monitor. Lossless compression is achieved through redundancy elimination. Triangles are processed following their transformation to screen space, so that the vertex world 3D locations are determined in their projection to the screen 2D locations. Triangles may also be processed by back projecting the screen space scanlines to test locations against the world space triangles. The general technique is to identify the portions of the data that have little or no effect on the rendered output and remove them during compression. Specific examples disclosed include full packing, constant color, delta coding, edge sharing, slope coding, and color quantization.

An apparatus and method are disclosed for converting XML data to a destination encoding format. A receive module receives a request for bytes of XML data in a destination encoding format streamed from a source XML file. A transfer module transfers the requested bytes from a byte conversion buffer to a request buffer in response to the request and the byte conversion buffer having at least the requested bytes. A conversion module, in response to the byte conversion buffer lacking the requested quantity of bytes, transfers part of the requested bytes to the request buffer, fetches input bytes from an XML file, stores the bytes in a receive buffer, transfers the input bytes through a byte-to-character converter to a character conversion buffer, transfers the characters through a character-to-byte converter to the byte conversion buffer, and transfers enough bytes to the request buffer to satisfy the request.

The disclosed embodiments provide a system for processing and storing data. During operation, the system obtains a set of records sorted by a first integer value, with each record containing the first integer value and one or more additional integer values. The system sets, for each integer value in each record, a delta encoding bit that indicates whether the integer value is delta encoded with respect to at least one other integer value in the records. Next, the system uses a delta encoding state represented by the delta encoding bit to calculate an encoded value from the integer value. The system then encodes a length of the encoded value in a length tag for the integer value and replaces the integer value in the record with an encoded version containing the delta encoding bit, the length tag, and the encoded value.

Further an adaptive bit determination algorithm is disclosed to adaptively determine the number of bits assigned to each parameter value based on the value range thereof and the distortion requirements.
