Fast swept volume approximation of complex polyhedral models
2003
Proceedings of the eighth ACM symposium on Solid modeling and applications - SM '03
We present an efficient algorithm to approximate the swept volume (SV) of a complex polyhedron along a given trajectory. Given the boundary description of the polyhedron and a path specified as a parametric curve, our algorithm enumerates a superset of the boundary surfaces of SV. It consists of ruled and developable surface primitives, and the SV corresponds to the outer boundary of their arrangement. We approximate this boundary by using a five-stage pipeline. This includes computing a
