The collision checks for these are pretty fast and simple. For instance, in the previous picture, you have to use the case 6c instead of the standard complementary of the case 6.This is called an AABB (Axis Aligned Bounding Box). These families have to be used as complementary cases. To cope with these topology errors (as holes in the 3D model), 6 families have been added to the marching cubes cases. However not only real ambiguous cases can create topology disfunctions, some classical families are incompatible. But in 3D space a solution has to be found because of the topology problems these situations create. The creation of these complementary cubes allows to give an orientation to the surface.Īs for the marching squares we meet some ambiguous marching cubes cases : for the family 4 and 10. In the next picture you can see some instances of cubes with their normals. Building a complementary cube consists in reversing normals of the original cube. To all this cubes we can attribute a complementary one. In this way, vertexes from 1 to 8 are weighted from 1 to 128 (v1 = 1, v2 = 2, v3 = 4, etc.) for example, the family case 3 example you can see in the picture above, corresponds to the number 5 (v1 and v3 are positive, 1 + 4 = 5). It aims at refering each case by an index created from a binary interpretation of the corner weights. In order to be able to determine each real case, a notation has been adopted. All these cases can be generalized in 15 families by rotations and symetries : In a 3D space we enumerate 256 different situations for the marching cubes representation. However, these exceptions do not imply any real error because the edges keep closed.įollowing the marching squares algorithm we can adapt our approach to the 3D case : this is the marching cubes algorithm. Each point of this grid has a weight and here the reference value is known as 5. Lets consider a 2D grid as shown in the next picture.

That is the situation for the squares 5 and 10.Īs you can see on the previous picture we are not able to take a decision on the interpretation of this kind of situation. The marching squares algorithm aims at drawing lines between interpolated values along the edges of a square, considering given weights of the corners and a reference value. Getting text into your openGL apps is simple with the use of the imlib2.

While trying this algorithm on different configurations we realise that some cases may be ambiguous. This is the marching square method.For this method 16 configurations have been enumerated, which allows the representation of all kinds of lines in 2D space.

One of them consists in considering individually each square of the grid.

In order to display this curve, different methods can be used. The most used is the linear interpolation. To draw the curve whose value is constant and equals the reference one, different kinds of interpolation can be used. Chapter 4 describes a collision detection algorithm for 3D point cloud data comparing. Let's consider a 2D grid as shown in the next picture.Įach point of this grid has a weight and here the reference value is known as 5. Marching Cubes and the point splatting techniques is also examined. The marching squares algorithm aims at drawing lines between interpolated values along the edges of a square, considering given weights of the corners and a reference value. After having presented some marching squares ambiguous cases we will be able to describe the marching cubes algorithm and an ambiguous case resolution. In order to explain this technique, we are going to indroduce the marching squares algorithm which uses the same approach in 2D. As you can see in the previous pages of the site, the marching cubes algorithm is a 3D iso-surface representation technique.
