Efficient Collision Detection for Models Deformed by Morphing

Larsson, Thomas and Akenine-Möller, Tomas LU (2003) In Visual Computer 19(2). p.164-174
Abstract
We describe a fast and accurate collision-detection algorithm specialised for models deformed by morphing. The models considered are meshes where the vertex positions are convex combinations of sets of reference meshes. This new method is based on bounding-volume trees that are extended to support efficient tree-node updates by blending associated sets of reference bounding volumes. With our approach, it is possible to use either axis-aligned bounding boxes, discrete-orientation polytopes, or spheres as bounding volumes. The expected performance of our algorithm is of the same order as for rigid hierarchical collision detection. In our tested scenarios, the speed-up we achieved ranged from 1.5 to 58, compared to another more general... (More)
