  2. Introduction To Collision Detection Parts of these slides are based on www2.informatik.uni-wuerzburg.de/ mitarbeiter/holger/lehre/osss02/schmidt/vortrag.pdf by Jakob Schmidt

  3. What ? The problem: The search for intersecting planes of different 3D models in a scene. Collision Detection is an important problem in fields like computer animation, virtual reality and game programming.

  4. Intro The problem can be defined as if, where and when two objects intersect.

  5. Intro This introduction will deal with the basic problem: IF two (stationary) objects intersect.

  6. Intro The simple solution: Pairwise collision check of all polygons the objects are made of.

  7. Intro Problem: • complexity O(n²) • not acceptable for reasonable number n of polygons • not applicable for realtime application

  8. Bounding Volumes Part 1: Bounding Volumes Reduce complexity of collision computation by substitution of the (complex) original object with a simpler object containing the original one.

  9. Bounding Volumes The original objects can only intersect if the simpler ones do. Or better: if the simpler objects do NOT intersect, the original objects won’t either.

  10. Bounding Volumes How to choose BVs ? • Object approximation behavior (‘Fill efficiency’) • Computational simplicity • Behavior on (non linear !) transformation (incl. deformation) • Memory efficiency

  11. AABB Sphere OBB k-DOP Bounding Volumes Different BVs used in game programming: • Axes Aligned Bounding Boxes (AABB) • Oriented Bounding Boxes (OBB) • Spheres • k-Discrete Oriented Polytopes (k DOP)

  12. Bounding Volumes Axes Aligned Bounding Box (AABB) • Align axes to the coordinate system • Simple to create • Computationally efficient • Unsatisfying fill efficiency • Not invariant to basic transformations, e.g. rotation

  13. Bounding Volumes Axes Aligned Bounding Box (AABB) Collision test: project BBs onto coordinate axes. If they overlap on each axis, the objects collide.

  14. Bounding Volumes Oriented Bounding Box (OBB) Align box to object such that it fits optimally in terms of fill efficiency Computationally expensive Invariant to rotation Complex intersection check

  15. Bounding Volumes The overlap test is based on the Separating Axes Theorem (S. Gottschalk. Separating axis theorem. Technical Report TR96-024,Department of Computer Science, UNC Chapel Hill, 1996) Two convex polytopes are disjoint iff there exists a separating axis orthogonal to a face of either polytope or orthogonal to an edge from each polytope.

  16. Bounding Volumes Each box has 3 unique face orientations, and 3 unique edge directions. This leads to 15 potential separating axes to test (3 faces from one box, 3 faces from the other box, and 9 pairwise combinations of edges).

  17. Bounding Volumes Sphere • Relatively complex to compute • Bad fill efficiency • Simple overlap test • invariant to rotation

  18. Bounding Volumes K-DOP • Easy to compute • Good fill efficiency • Simple overlap test • Not invariant to rotation

  19. Bounding Volumes k-DOP is considered to be a trade off between AABBs and OBBs. Its collision check is a general version of the AABB collision check, having k/2 directions

  20. Bounding Volumes k-DOPs are used e.g. in the game ‘Cell Damage’ (XBOX, Pseudo Interactive, 2002)

  21. Bounding Volumes How to Compute and Store k-DOPs: k-directions k-directions Bi define halfplanes (they are the normals to the halfplanes) , the intersection of these halfplanes defines the k-DOP bounding volume. Halfplane Hi = {x | Bi x – di <= 0}

  22. Bounding Volumes 3D Example: UNREAL-Engine

  23. Bounding Volumes 2D Example for halfplanes defining a k-DOP Normal vector Bi

  24. Bounding Volumes Again: halfplane Hi = {x | Bi x – di <= 0} • If the directions Bi are predefined, only the distances di must be stored to specify the halfplane Hi . This is one scalar value per direction. • If the directions are NOT predefined, Bi and di must be stored (3D case: 4 values)

  25. Bounding Volumes How to compute di : Hessian Normal Form ( Bx – d = 0 with d = Bp) with unit vector of a plane automatically gives distance d if a single point p on the plane is known.

  26. Bounding Volumes Compute distances of all vertices to plane Bx = 0, i.e. multiply (dot product) each vertex with the unit normal vector B Unit vector B Bx = 0

  27. Bounding Volumes di is the minimum distance of the object to the plane Bx = 0 Bx = 0 di

  28. Bounding Volumes Collision Given: k non kollinear directions Bi and V = set of vertices of object. Compute di = min{Bi v| v in V } and Di = max{Bi v| v in V}. di andDi define an interval on the axis given by Bi . This is the interval needed for the collision detection !

  29. Bounding Volumes Collision D1 Plane defined by B1 Interval [d1, D1] defined by B1 B1 d1

  30. Bounding Volumes Part 2: Collision on different scales: Hierarchies

  31. Hierarchies Idea: To achieve higher exactness in collision detection, build a multiscale BV representation of the object

  32. Hierarchies

  33. Hierarchies Use the hierarchy from coarse to fine resolution to exclude non intersecting objects

  34. Hierarchies The hierarchy is stored in a tree, named by the underlying BV scheme: AABB – tree OBB – tree Sphere – tree kDOP – tree

  35. Hierarchies Sphere Trees are used for example in “Gran Tourismo”

  36. Hierarchies Simple example: • Binary tree • Each node contains all primitives of its subtree • Leaves contain single primitive

  37. Hierarchies

  38. Hierarchies

  39. Hierarchies Recursive Collision Detection ) Returns TRUE if BBs overlap. How could this be improved to give a precise overlap test ?

  40. Hierarchies

  41. Hierarchies How to create a hierarchy tree • Top down: • Use single BV covering whole object • Split BV • Continue recursively until each BV contains a single primitive

  42. Hierarchies • Bottom up: • Start with BV for each primitive • Merge

  43. Hierarchies Example for top down using OBBs :

  44. Hierarchies Comparison AABB / OBB

  45. Multiple Objects Part 3: Collision between Multiple Objects

  46. Multiple Objects Virtual environment usually consists of more than 2 objects. Pairwise detailed collision between all objects is too slow. Solution again: 1. Exclude non colliding objects 2. Check collision between remaining objects

  47. Multiple Objects Methods to exclude non colliding objects: Grid Method Or 2. Sort and Sweep (AABB)

  48. Multiple Objects Grid Method: Create 3d grid volume overlay Only check collision between objects sharing at least one cell

  49. Multiple Objects 2D example

  50. Multiple Objects Sort and Sweep • Create single AABB for each object • Project BVs onto coordinate axes • Create a sorted list of start and endpoints for each coordinate axis, hence store the intervals created by each object (Cont’d)
