Collision and intersection detection of two ruled surfaces using bracket method
Collision and intersection detection of surfaces is an important problem in computer graphics and robotic engineering. A key idea of our paper is to use the bracket method to derive the necessary and sufficient conditions for the collision of two ruled surfaces. Then the numerical intersection curve can be characterized. The cases for two bounded ruled surfaces are also discussed. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
