This book was released on 2020-01-09 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Open world games have tremendously become a demanding criterion for computer games development as user be able to freely roam through land and sea virtually. One of the elements involving computer games development is to bring applicable real-time collision detection for each object. Collision detection required sophisticated process of using hierarchical approach of Bounding-Volume Hierarchies (BVH) for detecting procedure. BVH is one of the most challenging issues in collision detection area that critically undergoing multiple splitting process. Splitting process requires an object with their set of triangles to be split into two parts using binary type tree. It is very crucial to make sure that the BVH tree construction is always in balanced as the speed of BVH tree traversal algorithm is dropped for unbalanced tree. In this thesis, we introduced Spatial Object Median Splitting (SOMS) to enhance the capability of BVH construction. Hence, SOMS creates an optimum level of BVH where most leaf nodes that was bounded with AABB contained one triangle compared to Spatial Median technique. From the BVH construction experiments, SOMS managed to perform faster as compared to other common technique. Furthermore, experiment to create one BV one triangle also showed that SOMS produced more nodes. As a conclusion, BVH can easily be constructed using SOMS approach together to create higher level of balanced tree for collision detection.

Download or read book New Geometric Data Structures for Collision Detection and Haptics written by René Weller and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-07-12 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Starting with novel algorithms for optimally updating bounding volume hierarchies of objects undergoing arbitrary deformations, the author presents a new data structure that allows, for the first time, the computation of the penetration volume. The penetration volume is related to the water displacement of the overlapping region, and thus corresponds to a physically motivated and continuous force. The practicability of the approaches used is shown by realizing new applications in the field of robotics and haptics, including a user study that evaluates the influence of the degrees of freedom in complex haptic interactions. New Geometric Data Structures for Collision Detection and Haptics closes by proposing an open source benchmarking suite that evaluates both the performance and the quality of the collision response in order to guarantee a fair comparison of different collision detection algorithms. Required in the fields of computer graphics, physically-based simulations, computer animations, robotics and haptics, collision detection is a fundamental problem that arises every time we interact with virtual objects. Some of the open challenges associated with collision detection include the handling of deformable objects, the stable computation of physically-plausible contact information, and the extremely high frequencies that are required for haptic rendering. New Geometric Data Structures for Collision Detection and Haptics presents new solutions to all of these challenges, and will prove to be a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners of collision detection in the haptics, robotics and computer graphics and animation domains.

This book was released on 2008-08-06 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2007 in the subject Computer Science - Applied, grade: 1,0, Technical University of Munich (Institut für Informatik), language: English, abstract: In this thesis, I present a framework for physical simulation and visualization of deformable volumetric bodies in real time. Based on the implicit finite element method a multigrid approach for the efficient numerical simulation of elastic materials has been developed. Due to the optimized implementation of the multigrid scheme, 200,000 elements can be simulated at a rate of 10 time steps per second. The approach enables realistic and numerically stable simulation of bodies that are described by tetrahedral or hexahedral grids. It can efficiently simulate heterogeneous bodies—i.e., bodies that are composed of material with varying stiffness—and includes linear as well as non-linear material laws. To visualize deformable bodies, a novel rendering method has been developed on programmable graphics hardware. It includes the efficient rendering of surfaces as well as interior volumetric structures. Both the physical simulation framework and the rendering approach have been integrated into a single simulation support system. Thereby, available communication bandwidths have been efficiently exploited. To enable the use of the system in practical applications, a novel approach for collision detection has been included. This approach allows one to handle geometries that are deformed or even created on the graphical subsystem.

Download or read book Graphical Simulation of Deformable Models written by Jianping Cai and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-12-20 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers dynamic simulation of deformable objects, which is one of the most challenging tasks in computer graphics and visualization. It focuses on the simulation of deformable models with anisotropic materials, one of the less common approaches in the existing research. Both physically-based and geometrically-based approaches are examined. The authors start with transversely isotropic materials for the simulation of deformable objects with fibrous structures. Next, they introduce a fiber-field incorporated corotational finite element model (CLFEM) that works directly with a constitutive model of transversely isotropic material. A smooth fiber-field is used to establish the local frames for each element. To introduce deformation simulation for orthotropic materials, an orthotropic deformation controlling frame-field is conceptualized and a frame construction tool is developed for users to define the desired material properties. The orthotropic frame-field is coupled with the CLFEM model to complete an orthotropic deformable model. Finally, the authors present an integrated real-time system for animation of skeletal characters with anisotropic tissues. To solve the problems of volume distortion and high computational costs, a strain-based PBD framework for skeletal animation is explained; natural secondary motion of soft tissues is another benefit. The book is written for those researchers who would like to develop their own algorithms. The key mathematical and computational concepts are presented together with illustrations and working examples. It can also be used as a reference book for graduate students and senior undergraduates in the areas of computer graphics, computer animation, and virtual reality. Academics, researchers, and professionals will find this to be an exceptional resource.
