Abstract
Medial Axis Transform (MAT) has been recently adopted as the acceleration structure of broad-phase collision detection. Compared to traditional BVH-based methods, MAT can provide a high-fidelity volumetric approximation of 3D complex objects, resulting in higher collision culling efficiency. However, due to MAT’s non-hierarchical structure, it may be outperformed in collision-light scenarios because several cullings at the top level of a BVH may take a large number of cullings with MAT. We propose a collision detection method that combines MAT and BVH to address the above problem. Our technique efficiently culls collisions between dynamic and static objects. Experimental results show that our method has higher culling efficiency than pure BVH or MAT methods.
期刊介绍:
Graphical Models is recognized internationally as a highly rated, top tier journal and is focused on the creation, geometric processing, animation, and visualization of graphical models and on their applications in engineering, science, culture, and entertainment. GMOD provides its readers with thoroughly reviewed and carefully selected papers that disseminate exciting innovations, that teach rigorous theoretical foundations, that propose robust and efficient solutions, or that describe ambitious systems or applications in a variety of topics.
We invite papers in five categories: research (contributions of novel theoretical or practical approaches or solutions), survey (opinionated views of the state-of-the-art and challenges in a specific topic), system (the architecture and implementation details of an innovative architecture for a complete system that supports model/animation design, acquisition, analysis, visualization?), application (description of a novel application of know techniques and evaluation of its impact), or lecture (an elegant and inspiring perspective on previously published results that clarifies them and teaches them in a new way).
GMOD offers its authors an accelerated review, feedback from experts in the field, immediate online publication of accepted papers, no restriction on color and length (when justified by the content) in the online version, and a broad promotion of published papers. A prestigious group of editors selected from among the premier international researchers in their fields oversees the review process.
