The paper "Collision Detection and Response for Computer Animation" by Matthew Moore and Jane Wilhelms discusses the importance of collision detection and response in computer animation. It addresses the challenges of detecting and responding to collisions between objects, which are crucial for creating realistic animations. The authors present two collision detection algorithms: one for flexible surfaces and another for convex polyhedra. They also describe an analytical solution for collision response, which is particularly useful for articulated rigid bodies, as it conserves linear and angular momentum. The paper highlights the trade-offs between computational efficiency and accuracy, suggesting that a combination of spring-based and analytical methods can be effective in dynamic animation systems. The analytical solution is generally faster for strong collisions but can be more computationally expensive for gentle collisions. The paper concludes by emphasizing the importance of collision detection and response in animation systems and provides insights into optimizing these processes.The paper "Collision Detection and Response for Computer Animation" by Matthew Moore and Jane Wilhelms discusses the importance of collision detection and response in computer animation.
