On Faster Sphere-Box Overlap Testing

Authors:

Publication Type:

Journal article

Venue:

journal of graphics tools

Publisher:

Abstract

We present faster overlap tests between spheres and either axis-aligned or oriented boxes. By utilizing quick rejection tests, faster execution times are observed compared to previous techniques. In addition, we present alternative vectorized overlap tests, which are compared to the sequential algorithms. Source code is available online.
