Previously in this series we covered the basics of collision detection and discussed some different approaches to finding intersections in sets of boxes: Collision detection (part 1): Overview Collision detection (part 2): Box intersection Today, we’ll see how well this theory squares with...
Last time, we discussed collision detection in general and surveyed some techniques for narrow phase collision detection. In this article we will go into more detail on broad phase collision detection for closed axis-aligned boxes. This was a big problem in the 1970’s and early 1980’s in VLSI...
Collision, or intersection, detection is an important geometric operation with a large number of applications in graphics, CAD and virtual reality including: map overlay operations, constructive solid geometry, physics simulation, and label placement. It is common to make a distinction between...
