Distance to objects built with set operations in constructive solid modeling
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present in this paper methods to compute the signed Euclidean distance to surfaces obtained by the intersection (respectively union or difference) of two solids (in two or three dimensions). These implementations can replace min/max or R-functions traditionally used to model set operations used with implicit surfaces.

Set Manipulations of Fractal Objects Using Matrices of IFS
1 I n t r o d u c t i o n The aim of geometric modeling is to model forms by manipulating or combining well-known shapes such as circles and boxes. In order to be convenient such a model should allow easy control and manipulation of the final shape. When dealing with fractal geometric modeling, the control on ffactal figures is not so easily achieved as with classical smooth ones. The difficult...
متن کاملSARDF: Signed Approximate Real Distance Functions in Heterogeneous Objects Modeling
Distribution of material density and other properties of heterogeneous objects can be parametrized by the Euclidean distance function from the object boundary or from special material features. For objects constructed using geometric primitives and set-theoretic operations, an approximation of the distance function can be obtained in a constructive manner by applying special compositing operati...
متن کاملWeb-based Constructive Shape Modeling Using Real Distance Functions
We present an approach and a web-based system implementation for modeling shapes using real distance functions. The system consists of an applet supporting the HyperFun modeling language. The applet is extended with primitives defined by Euclidean distance from a point to the surface of the shape. Set-theoretic operations (union, intersection, difference) that provide an approximation of the Eu...
متن کاملConstructive heterogeneous object modeling using signed approximate real distance functions
We introduce a smooth approximation of the min / max operations, called SARDF (Signed Approximate Real Distance Function), for maintaining an approximate signed distance function in constructive shape modeling. We apply constructive distance-based shape modeling to design objects with heterogeneous material distribution in the constructive hypervolume model framework. The introduced distance ap...
متن کاملAlgebraic Representation of CSG Solids Built from Free-Form Primitives
A mathematical model for free-form solid modelling was presented in previous published works. The key aspects of this model are the decomposition of the volume occupied by the solid into non-disjoint cells, and the representation of the solid as an algebraic sum of these cells. Here we apply this scheme to represent CSG solids built by combining free-form solids in boolean operations. As a proo...
