This paper presents a progressive compression method for generic surface meshes (non-manifold and/or polygonal). Two major contributions are proposed : (1) generic edge collapse and vertex split operators allowing surface simplication and renement of a mesh, whatever its connectivity; (2) a distortion-aware collapse clustering strategy that adapts the decima-tion granularity in order to optimize the rate-distortion tradeoff.
