  2. Bounding volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bounding_volume

    A bounding box or minimum bounding box (MBB) is a cuboid, or in 2-D a rectangle, containing the object. In dynamical simulation, bounding boxes are preferred to other shapes of bounding volume such as bounding spheres or cylinders for objects that are roughly cuboid in shape when the intersection test needs to be fairly accurate. The benefit is ...

  3. Bounding volume hierarchy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bounding_volume_hierarchy

    An example of a bounding volume hierarchy using rectangles as bounding volumes. A bounding volume hierarchy (BVH) is a tree structure on a set of geometric objects. All geometric objects, which form the leaf nodes of the tree, are wrapped in bounding volumes. These nodes are then grouped as small sets and enclosed within larger bounding volumes.

  4. Minimum bounding box algorithms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_bounding_box...

    In computational geometry, the smallest enclosing box problem is that of finding the oriented minimum bounding box enclosing a set of points. It is a type of bounding volume. "Smallest" may refer to volume, area, perimeter, etc. of the box. It is sufficient to find the smallest enclosing box for the convex hull of the objects in question. It is ...

  5. Minimum bounding box - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_bounding_box

    A sphere enclosed by its axis-aligned minimum bounding box (in 3 dimensions) In geometry, the minimum bounding box or smallest bounding box (also known as the minimum enclosing box or smallest enclosing box) for a point set S in N dimensions is the box with the smallest measure (area, volume, or hypervolume in higher dimensions) within which all the points lie.

  6. Bounding sphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bounding_sphere

    Some instances of the smallest bounding circle, the case of the bounding sphere in 2 dimensions.. In mathematics, given a non-empty set of objects of finite extension in -dimensional space, for example a set of points, a bounding sphere, enclosing sphere or enclosing ball for that set is a -dimensional solid sphere containing all of these objects.

    Bounding box One of the simplest type of bounding volume, consisting of axis-aligned or object-aligned extents. Bounding volume A mathematically simple volume, such as a sphere or a box, containing 3D objects, used to simplify and accelerate spatial tests (e.g. for visibility or collisions). [3]: 819 BRDF

  8. Sweep and prune - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweep_and_prune

    To circumvent this, temporal coherence can be used to compute the changes in bounding volume geometry with fewer operations. Another approach is to use bounding spheres or other orientation independent bounding volumes. Sweep and prune is also known as sort and sweep, [1] referred to this way in David Baraff's Ph.D. thesis in 1992. [2]

  9. Scene graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scene_graph

    A BVH is a tree of bounding volumes (often spheres, axis-aligned bounding boxes or oriented bounding boxes). At the bottom of the hierarchy, the size of the volume is just large enough to encompass a single object tightly (or possibly even some smaller fraction of an object in high resolution BVHs).
