Detailed Description

generate oriented bounding box (OBB) tree.

Date:: 2000/12/10 20:08:44

Revision:: 1.31

Thanks:: Thanks to Peter C. Everett <pce@world.std.com> for improvements and enhancements to vtkOBBTree class.

vtkOBBTree is an object to generate oriented bounding box (OBB) trees. An oriented bounding box is a bounding box that does not necessarily line up along coordinate axes. The OBB tree is a hierarchical tree structure of such boxes, where deeper levels of OBB confine smaller regions of space.

To build the OBB, a recursive, top-down process is used. First, the root OBB is constructed by finding the mean and covariance matrix of the cells (and their points) that define the dataset. The eigenvectors of the covariance matrix are extracted, giving a set of three orthogonal vectors that define the tightest-fitting OBB. To create the two children OBB's, a split plane is found that (approximately) divides the number cells in half. These are then assigned to the children OBB's. This process then continues until the MaxLevel ivar limits the recursion, or no split plane can be found.

A good reference for OBB-trees is Gottschalk & Manocha in Proceedings of Siggraph `96.

Warning:: Since this algorithms works from a list of cells, the OBB tree will only bound the "geometry" attached to the cells if the convex hull of the cells bounds the geometry.

Warning:: Long, skinny cells (i.e., cells with poor aspect ratio) may cause unsatisfactory results. This is due to the fact that this is a top-down implementation of the OBB tree, requiring that one or more complete cells are contained in each OBB. This requirement makes it hard to find good split planes during the recursion process. A bottom-up implementation would go a long way to correcting this problem.

Member Function Documentation

virtual const char* vtkOBBTree::GetClassName ( ) [virtual]

Return the class name as a string. This method is defined in all subclasses of vtkObject with the vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.
Reimplemented from vtkCellLocator.

int vtkOBBTree::IsTypeOf ( const char * type ) [static]

Return 1 if this class type is the same type of (or a subclass of) the named class. Returns 0 otherwise. This method works in combination with vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.
Reimplemented from vtkCellLocator.

virtual int vtkOBBTree::IsA ( const char * type ) [virtual]

Return 1 if this class is the same type of (or a subclass of) the named class. Returns 0 otherwise. This method works in combination with vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.
Reimplemented from vtkCellLocator.

vtkOBBTree* vtkOBBTree::SafeDownCast ( vtkObject * o ) [static]

Will cast the supplied object to vtkObject* is this is a safe operation (i.e., a safe downcast); otherwise NULL is returned. This method is defined in all subclasses of vtkObject with the vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.
Reimplemented from vtkCellLocator.

vtkOBBTree* vtkOBBTree::New ( ) [static]

Construct with automatic computation of divisions, averaging 25 cells per octant.
Reimplemented from vtkCellLocator.

void vtkOBBTree::ComputeOBB ( vtkPoints * pts,

float corner[3],

float max[3],

float mid[3],

float min[3],

float size[3]

)

Compute an OBB from the list of points given. Return the corner point and the three axes defining the orientation of the OBB. Also return a sorted list of relative "sizes" of axes for comparison purposes.

void vtkOBBTree::ComputeOBB ( vtkDataSet * input,

float corner[3],

float max[3],

float mid[3],

float min[3],

float size[3]

)

Compute an OBB for the input dataset using the cells in the data. Return the corner point and the three axes defining the orientation of the OBB. Also return a sorted list of relative "sizes" of axes for comparison purposes.

Return intersection point (if any) of finite line with cells contained in cell locator.
Reimplemented from vtkCellLocator.

int vtkOBBTree::IntersectWithLine ( float a0[3],

float a1[3],

float tol,

float & t,

float x[3],

float pcoords[3],

int & subId,

int & cellId

) [virtual]

Return intersection point (if any) AND the cell which was intersected by the finite line.
Reimplemented from vtkCellLocator.

float a1[3],

float tol,

float & t,

float x[3],

float pcoords[3],

int & subId,

int & cellId,

vtkGenericCell * cell

) [virtual]

Return intersection point (if any) AND the cell which was intersected by the finite line. The cell is returned as a cell id and as a generic cell.
Reimplemented from vtkCellLocator.

int vtkOBBTree::DisjointOBBNodes ( vtkOBBNode * nodeA,

vtkOBBNode * nodeB,

vtkMatrix4x4 * XformBtoA

Returns true if nodeB and nodeA are disjoint after optional transformation of nodeB with matrix XformBtoA BTX

int vtkOBBTree::LineIntersectsNode ( vtkOBBNode * pA,

float B0[3],

float B1[3]

Returns true if line intersects node.

int vtkOBBTree::TriangleIntersectsNode ( vtkOBBNode * pA,

float p0[3],

float p1[3],

float p2[3],

vtkMatrix4x4 * XformBtoA

)

Returns true if triangle (optionally transformed) intersects node.

void vtkOBBTree::FreeSearchStructure ( ) [virtual]

Satisfy locator's abstract interface, see vtkLocator.
Reimplemented from vtkCellLocator.

void vtkOBBTree::BuildLocator ( ) [virtual]

Build the locator from the input dataset.
Reimplemented from vtkCellLocator.

void vtkOBBTree::GenerateRepresentation ( int level,

vtkPolyData * pd

) [virtual]

Create polygonal representation for OBB tree at specified level. If level < 0, then the leaf OBB nodes will be gathered. The aspect ratio (ar) and line diameter (d) are used to control the building of the representation. If a OBB node edge ratio's are greater than ar, then the dimension of the OBB is collapsed (OBB->plane->line). A "line" OBB will be represented either as two crossed polygons, or as a line, depending on the relative diameter of the OBB compared to the diameter (d).
Reimplemented from vtkCellLocator.
