Abstract

We present a fast and robust BVH-based collision detection scheme on GPU. By efficiently ordering and restructuring BVHs and BVTT fronts, our approach addresses the problem of inefficient caching on GPU and performance drop due to model deformations. Our techniques are based on the use of histogram sort and an auxiliary structure BVTT front log, through which we analyze the dynamic status of BVTT front and BVH quality. Our approach efficiently handles inter- and intra-object collisions and performs especially well in simulations where there is considerable spatio-temporal coherence. The benchmark results demonstrate that our approach is significantly faster than the previous BVH-based method, and also outperforms other state-of-the-art spatial subdivision schemes in terms of speed.
