An Algorithm for Rapidly Computing the Minimum Distance between Two Objects Collision Detection
Faming Gong, Bo Gao, Qiuli Niu · 2008
A novel efficient algorithm for computing the minimum distance between two objects in collision detection is proposed, which is based on extracting the objects’ feature points set to represent the shape figure, and computing the point sets to get the minimum distance between the two objects. Theoretical analyses and experimental results show that the method reduces the computing complexity, improves the efficiency and meets the requirement of real time of collision detection.
