The Skip Quadtree: a Simple Dynamic Data Structure for Multidimensional Data
The Skip Quadtree: A Simple Dynamic Data Structure for Multidimensional Data David Eppstein† Michael T. Goodrich† Jonathan Z. Sun† Abstract We present a new multi-dimensional data structure, which we call the skip quadtree (for point data in R2) or the skip octree (for point data in Rd , with constant d > 2). Our data structure combines the best features of two well-known data structures, in that it has the well-defined “box”-shaped regions of region quadtrees and the logarithmic-height search and update hierarchical structure of skip lists. Indeed, the bottom level of our structure is exactly a region quadtree (or octree for higher dimensional data). We describe efficient algorithms for inserting and deleting points in a skip quadtree, as well as fast methods for performing point location and approximate range queries. 1 Introduction Data structures for multidimensional point data are of significant interest in the computational geometry, computer graphics, and scientific data visualization literatures. They allow point data to be stored and searched efficiently, for example to perform range queries to report (possibly approximately) the points that are contained in a given query region. We are interested in this paper in data structures for multidimensional point sets that are dynamic, in that they allow for fast point insertion and deletion, as well as efficient, in that they use linear space and allow for fast query times. Related Previous Work. Linear-space multidimensional data structures typically are defined by hierar- chical subdivisions of space, which give rise to tree-based search structures. That is, a hierarchy is defined by associating with each node v in a tree T a region R(v) in Rd such that the children of v are associated with subregions of R(v) defined by some kind of “cutting” action on R(v).

Computation of Potentially Visible Set for Occluded Three-Dimensional Environments
Computation of Potentially Visible Set for Occluded Three-Dimensional Environments Derek Carr Advisor: Prof. William Ames Boston College Computer Science Department May 2004 Page 1 Abstract This thesis deals with the problem of visibility culling in interactive three- dimensional environments. Included in this thesis is a discussion surrounding the issues involved in both constructing and rendering three-dimensional environments. A renderer must sort the objects in a three-dimensional scene in order to draw the scene correctly. The Binary Space Partitioning (BSP) algorithm can sort objects in three- dimensional space using a tree based data structure. This thesis introduces the BSP algorithm in its original context before discussing its other uses in three-dimensional rendering algorithms. Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG) is an efficient interactive modeling technique that enables an artist to create complex three-dimensional environments by performing Boolean set operations on convex volumes. After providing a general overview of CSG, this thesis describes an efficient algorithm for computing CSG exp ression trees via the use of a BSP tree. When rendering a three-dimensional environment, only a subset of objects in the environment is visible to the user. We refer to this subset of objects as the Potentially Visible Set (PVS). This thesis presents an algorithm that divides an environment into a network of convex cellular volumes connected by invisible portal regions. A renderer can then utilize this network of cells and portals to compute a PVS via a depth first traversal of the scene graph in real-time. Finally, this thesis discusses how a simulation engine might exploit this data structure to provide dynamic collision detection against the scene graph.

Williams II This dissertation focuses on the fast rendering algorithms on real-time 3D modeling. To improve the computational efficiency, binary space partitioning (BSP) and octree are implemented on the haptic model. Their features are addressed in detail. Three methods of triangle assignment with the splitting plane are discussed. The solutions for optimizing collision detection (CD) are presented and compared. The complexities of these partition methods are discussed, and recommendation is made. Then the deformable haptic model is presented. In this research, for the haptic modeling, the deformation calculation is only related to the graphics process because the haptic rendering is invisible and non-deformable rendering saves much computation cost. To achieve the fast deformation computation in the interactive simulation, the functional shape matched deformation (FSMD) algorithm is proposed for the tangential and normal components of the surface deformation.

(M.S., Computer Science) Collision Detection Using Hierarchical Grid Spatial Partitioning on the GPU Thesis directed by Prof. Willem Schreüder Collision detection is a popular topic in computer graphics. Any physics-based application (e.g. surgical simulations, robotics, video games, computer animations, etc.) necessitates some degree of collision detection and handling. Many techniques exist for performing collision detection. Until recently, the majority of them rely on CPU-based approaches. The increasing accessibilty of general purpose GPU (GPGPU) programming has marshalled in new possibilities for computing collision detection in virtual environments. However, GPGPU programming is certainly not a silver bullet. There are a variety of challenges to recognize and overcome, in particular, as it relates to collision detection. This thesis will explore existing methods for performing collision detection and present a novel GPU-based approach to a common technique - hierarchical grid spatial partitioning.

Introduction In most applications involving computation with 3D geometric models, manipulating objects and generating images of objects are crucial operations. Performing these operations requires determining for every frame of an animation the spatial relations between objects: how they might intersect each other, and how they may occlude each other. However, the objects, rather than being monolithic, are most often comprised of many pieces, such as by many polygons forming the faces of polyhedra. The number of pieces may be any where from t h e 100's to the 1,000,000's. To compute spatial relations between n polygons by brute force entails comparing every pair of polygons, and so would require O(n2). For large scenes comprised of 105 polygons, this would mean 1010 operations, which is much more than necessary. The number of operations can be substantially reduced to anywhere from O(n log2 n) when the objects interpenetrate (and so in our example reduced to ~106), to as little a s constant time, O(1), when they are somewhat separated from each other.

They are popular in computer graphics and computational geometry. Most popular bounding volumes are spheres, Oriented-Bounding Boxes (OBB’s), Axis-Aligned Bounding Boxes (AABB’s); moreover, the literature review includes ellipsoids, cylinders, sphere packing, sphere shells, k-DOP’s, convex hulls, cloud of points, and minimal bounding boxes, among others.
