Application of Collision Detection in Visual Simulation System for Bridge Cranes

Abstract:

Collision detection is the key technology in the visual simulation system for bridge cranes. According to analyse the collision between hook and virtual objects in visual simulation system for bridge cranes, collision detection method of visual simulation system for bridge cranes is determined based on the collision detection principle. First of all, LOS intersection vector method is chosen based on the principle of collision detection in Vega. Hook is designed for the collision target using Isector module in Lynx and the same intersection vector masks in Isector Class are guaranteed. Then, the BUMP collision detection for hook is created by calling vgIsector functions in VC++ and BUMP detection method of hook is bounded with hook. Finally, conditional statements which ensure hook to move without collision are compiled. Therefore, the virtual scene around the hook is detected in real time. The results show that the phenomenon of passing through by mistake for the hook can be avoided applying the BUMP collision detection method in Vega software in visual simulation system for bridge cranes, and the accuracy for BUMP method detecting the goods is improved using LOS collision detection method.
