1 Introduction
層次包圍體技術 (BVH) 指的是將所有包圍體分層逐次地再次包圍，獲得一個更大的包圍體，直到包圍住所有物體。實際上，它是一個樹形結構，因此可以仿照樹的結構，將兩個或三個小的包圍體包圍成一個更大的包圍體，以此類推。
BVH是一種以物體BV為基礎進行劃分的結構。它由根節(jié)點、內部節(jié)點和葉子節(jié)點組成。其中葉子節(jié)點存放物體，每個非葉子節(jié)點都有包圍體，父節(jié)點可以把子節(jié)點包圍起來。每個非葉子節(jié)點的包圍體大小，是它所包含的所有物體的包圍體的總和，所以它在空間上比較緊湊，非常適用于需要大量求相交測試的應用場景，如光線追蹤、碰撞檢測、射線相交測試之類的應用場合中。
BVH在OpenCASCADE中也有廣泛地應用，如開源版本中的模型快速碰撞檢測，使用類BRepExtrema_ShapeProximity. 模型選擇操作，光線跟蹤等算法中都有應用。在

中介紹如何遍歷BVH樹，本文主要介紹BVH使用方法。
2 BVH
OpenCASCADE中的BVH是相對獨立的一個包，是作者根據論文實現(xiàn)的純C++版本移植過來的。在DRAW中的QA品質保證Bugs中提供了BVH的使用示例。
2.1 BVH_Set
首先要定義層次包圍盒的集合Set來構造BVH樹，從BVH_Set基類派生的集合是可以直接使用的：
如可以直接使用BVH_Triangulation，也可以直接使用BVH_BoxSet：
從這些類名中，我們可以看出在求模型間極值距離Extrema，三維可視化Graphic3d及Select3D拾取及布爾操作BOPTools中都有BVH的應用。
將元素通過Add函數(shù)添加到BVH集合后，調用BVH()函數(shù)就可以構造BVH樹。
2.2 BVH_Traverse
對于單個BVH的遍歷提供類BVH_Traverse，一般的應用場景如求距離一點P最近的模型，或者位于某個空間范圍內的所有模型。代碼如下所示：
//=======================================================================
//function : ShapeSelector
//purpose : Implement the simplest shape's selector
//=======================================================================
class ShapeSelector :
public BVH_Traverse <Standard_Real, 3, BVH_BoxSet <Standard_Real, 3, TopoDS_Shape>, Standard_Boolean>
{
public:
//! Constructor
ShapeSelector() {}
//! Sets the Box for selection
void SetBox (const Bnd_Box& theBox)
{
myBox = Bnd_Tools::Bnd2BVH (theBox);
}
//! Returns the selected shapes
const NCollection_List<TopoDS_Shape>& Shapes () const { return myShapes; }
public:
//! Defines the rules for node rejection by bounding box
virtual Standard_Boolean RejectNode (const BVH_Vec3d& theCornerMin,
const BVH_Vec3d& theCornerMax,
Standard_Boolean& theIsInside) const Standard_OVERRIDE
{
Standard_Boolean hasOverlap;
theIsInside = myBox.Contains (theCornerMin, theCornerMax, hasOverlap);
return !hasOverlap;
}
//! Defines the rules for leaf acceptance
virtual Standard_Boolean AcceptMetric (const Standard_Boolean& theIsInside) const Standard_OVERRIDE
{
return theIsInside;
}
//! Defines the rules for leaf acceptance
virtual Standard_Boolean Accept (const Standard_Integer theIndex,
const Standard_Boolean& theIsInside) Standard_OVERRIDE
{
if (theIsInside || !myBox.IsOut (myBVHSet->Box (theIndex)))
{
myShapes.Append (myBVHSet->Element (theIndex));
return Standard_True;
}
return Standard_False;
}
protected:
BVH_Box <Standard_Real, 3> myBox; //!< Selection box
NCollection_List <TopoDS_Shape> myShapes; //!< Selected shapes
};
主要是從類BVH_Traverse派生并重寫兩個虛函數(shù)RejectNode()和Accept()，即在RejectNode()中定義排除結點的規(guī)則，在Accept()中處理滿足條件的情況。
2.3 BVH_PairTraverse
對于兩個BVH的遍歷提供類BVH_PairTraverse，一般的應用場景有求兩個Mesh之間的最近距離，判斷兩個Mesh之間是否有碰撞等。
//=======================================================================
//function : MeshMeshDistance
//purpose : Class to compute the distance between two meshes
//=======================================================================
class MeshMeshDistance : public BVH_PairDistance<Standard_Real, 3, BVH_BoxSet<Standard_Real, 3, Triangle>>
{
public:
//! Constructor
MeshMeshDistance() {}
public:
//! Defines the rules for leaf acceptance
virtual Standard_Boolean Accept (const Standard_Integer theIndex1,
const Standard_Integer theIndex2) Standard_OVERRIDE
{
const Triangle& aTri1 = myBVHSet1->Element (theIndex1);
const Triangle& aTri2 = myBVHSet2->Element (theIndex2);
Standard_Real aDistance = TriangleTriangleSqDistance (aTri1._Node1, aTri1._Node2, aTri1._Node3,
aTri2._Node1, aTri2._Node2, aTri2._Node3);
if (aDistance < myDistance)
{
myDistance = aDistance;
return Standard_True;
}
return Standard_False;
}
};
主要也是從BVH_PairTraverse派生并重寫兩個虛函數(shù)RejectNode()和Accept()。
2.4 BVH_Builder
關于BVH的構造提供多種Builder，默認是使用基于SAH算法的BVH_BinnedBuilder來構造BVH樹，如果要切換不同的構造器，可以在BVH集合的構造函數(shù)中傳入一個。
下面給出求兩個Mesh之間最近距離的示例代碼：
// Define BVH Builder
opencascade::handle <BVH_LinearBuilder <Standard_Real, 3> > aLBuilder =
new BVH_LinearBuilder <Standard_Real, 3>();
// Create the ShapeSet
opencascade::handle <BVH_BoxSet <Standard_Real, 3, Triangle> > aTriangleBoxSet[2];
for (Standard_Integer i = 0; i < 2; ++i)
{
aTriangleBoxSet[i] = new BVH_BoxSet <Standard_Real, 3, Triangle> (aLBuilder);
TopTools_IndexedMapOfShape aMapShapes;
TopExp::MapShapes (aShape[i], TopAbs_FACE, aMapShapes);
for (Standard_Integer iS = 1; iS <= aMapShapes.Extent(); ++iS)
{
const TopoDS_Face& aF = TopoDS::Face (aMapShapes(iS));
TopLoc_Location aLoc;
const Handle(Poly_Triangulation)& aTriangulation = BRep_Tool::Triangulation(aF, aLoc);
const int aNbTriangles = aTriangulation->NbTriangles();
for (int iT = 1; iT <= aNbTriangles; ++iT)
{
const Poly_Triangle aTriangle = aTriangulation->Triangle (iT);
// Nodes indices
Standard_Integer id1, id2, id3;
aTriangle.Get (id1, id2, id3);
const gp_Pnt aP1 = aTriangulation->Node (id1).Transformed (aLoc.Transformation());
const gp_Pnt aP2 = aTriangulation->Node (id2).Transformed (aLoc.Transformation());
const gp_Pnt aP3 = aTriangulation->Node (id3).Transformed (aLoc.Transformation());
BVH_Vec3d aBVHP1 (aP1.X(), aP1.Y(), aP1.Z());
BVH_Vec3d aBVHP2 (aP2.X(), aP2.Y(), aP2.Z());
BVH_Vec3d aBVHP3 (aP3.X(), aP3.Y(), aP3.Z());
BVH_Box<Standard_Real, 3> aBox;
aBox.Add (aBVHP1);
aBox.Add (aBVHP2);
aBox.Add (aBVHP3);
aTriangleBoxSet[i]->Add (Triangle (aBVHP1, aBVHP2, aBVHP3), aBox);
}
}
// Build BVH
aTriangleBoxSet[i]->Build();
}
// Initialize selector
MeshMeshDistance aDistTool;
// Select the elements
aDistTool.SetBVHSets (aTriangleBoxSet[0].get(), aTriangleBoxSet[1].get());
Standard_Real aSqDist = aDistTool.ComputeDistance();
if (!aDistTool.IsDone())
std::cout << "Not Done" << std::endl;
else
theDI << "Distance " << sqrt (aSqDist) << "\n";
3 Conclusion
準確、穩(wěn)定、高效是高品質幾何內核的目標，我們在開發(fā)軟件時，也要時刻追求這個目標。而BVH層次包圍盒技術是提升性能的一種方式，理解BVH的使用，我們可以理解opencascade中快速求極值Extrema，交互選擇SelectMgr等很多代碼。甚至我們也可以參與貢獻，如將
Standard_Boolean BRepExtrema_Poly::Distance (const TopoDS_Shape& S1, const TopoDS_Shape& S2,
gp_Pnt& P1, gp_Pnt& P2, Standard_Real& dist)
這個O(N^2)的改造成BVH的來對比一下性能。
