Hierarchical Collision Detection Methods

来源:http://parallel.vub.ac.be/documentation/pvm/Example/Marc_Ramaekers/node4.html

In this section, we will discuss briefly the approach taken by hierarchical collision detection methods. These algorithms work on the face-face level. Given a pair of objects, they check which faces of the objects overlap, so they are carried out behind a method such as Sweep and Prune in the collision detection pipeline. Hierarchical Collision Detection algorithms approximate the objects in the scene using bounding volumes. Without specifying which type of bounding volume is used, the approach goes as follows. Given a set of polygons, calculate the bounding volume of this set. Next we construct a number of subsets that are maximally separated. For each of the subsets we calculate the bounding volume and link it to the parent node. This continues until the set contains some minimal number of polygons, usually just one.

At collision detection time, intersection is determined by first checking whether the bounding volumes at the roots of the trees corresponding to the objects intersect. If they do, we check the children of one of the nodes against the other node. If the two nodes being tested are leaves, the faces contained in the leaves are checked against each other and added to a collision list if they intersect. Like this, we continue until no more intersections can be found.

In this implementation, we used Oriented Bounding Boxes (OBB's) and Axis aligned Bounding Boxes (AABB's) as bounding volumes, since they are easy and fast to construct and for both types of objects rapid overlap tests exist ([GLM96],[Ber98]). With the OBB's we have a further option of calculating the convex hull when computing the orientation. Of course, many other types of bounding volumes exist like spheres and k-DOP's etc. I won't go into this here, but rather move on to the implementation of the parallel versions of the OBB and AABB based algorithms.
