Reporting intersections among thick objects
نویسنده
چکیده
Let E be a set of n objects in fixed dimension d. We assume that each element ofE has diameter smaller than D and has volume larger than V . We give a new divide and conquer algorithm that reports all the intersecting pairs in O(n logn + Dd V (n + k)) time and using O(n) space, where k is the number of intersecting pairs. It makes use of simple data structures and primitive operations, which explains why it performs very well in practice. Its restriction to unit balls in low dimensions is optimal in terms of time complexity, space complexity and algebraic degree.

Interference Detection and Collision Avoidance Among Three Dimensional Objects
Two methods for detecting intersections among three dimensional objects are described. The first method involves detecting overlap among the projections of the objects on a given set of planes. The second method uses a three dimensional octree representation of the objects. Intersections are detected by traversing the trees for the obstacles and the moving objects. Application of the methods to...
متن کاملSupport via central ring actions
The notions of central ring actions and support in triangulated categories have proved quite fruitful recently, cf. [1], [2], [3], [4]. They unify ideas and techniques from group cohomology, commutative ring theory (complete intersections) and Hochschild cohomology. This brief survey is an introduction to the basic concepts. Let T be a triangulated category with suspension functor Σ. A subcateg...
متن کاملIntersection Detection of Convex Polygons
Detecting whether two geometric objects intersect and computing the region of intersection are fundamental problems in computational geometry. Geometric intersection problems arise naturally in a number of applications. Examples include geometric packing and covering, wire and component layout in VLSI, map overlay in geographic information systems, motion planning, and collision detection. In s...
متن کاملEfficient Test and Visualization of Multi-Set Intersections.
Identification of sets of objects with shared features is a common operation in all disciplines. Analysis of intersections among multiple sets is fundamental for in-depth understanding of their complex relationships. However, so far no method has been developed to assess statistical significance of intersections among three or more sets. Moreover, the state-of-the-art approaches for visualizati...
متن کاملNon-Uniform Offsetting and Hollowing by Using Biarcs Fitting for Rapid Prototyping Processes
This chapter presents a new method of Non-Uniform offsetting and using biarc fittings to hollow out solid objects or thick walls to speed up the part building processes on RP systems. By building a hollowed prototype instead of a solid part, material consumption and build time can be reduced significantly. A rapid prototyped part with constant wall thickness is important for many different appl...
