Adaptive Continuous Collision Detection for Cloth Models Using a Skipping Frame Session*

A novel adaptive pipeline is proposed for continuous collision detection in cloth simulation. The pipeline consists of four components: bounding volume hierarchy (BVH) update, BVH traversal, a skipping frame session, and elementary test processing. The skipping frame session is activated adaptively for skipping both BVH update and BVH traversal during the process of collision detection. The proposed method improves the performance of collision detection in simulating cloth models comparing to some exist-ing feature-based collision detection techniques, as indicated from experimental results
