A method includes receiving geometric data to be encoded, generating a signature for the geometric data based on the at least one property associated with the geometric data, enumerating a set of first options, enumerating a set of second options, encoding the geometric data using the enumerated first option and the enumerated second option, decoding the encoded geometric data, selecting one of the enumerated second options based on a cost function, and training a classifier based on the signature, the enumerated first option and the selected second option.
