This paper presents a history-free collision handling
algorithm for cloth. Without information about past
timesteps, our method resolves intersections on
cloth with boundaries. Using a global intersection
analysis, we determine interpenetrating regions of
the cloth.We analyze the possible intersection paths
on 2D manifolds with boundaries and present a
classification of intersection paths according to the
position of their endpoints and the number of degenerated
vertices on the path.
Radial basis function (RBF) fitting is used to
extrapolate correspondence information available
on the intersection paths to the surrounding cloth.
Attractive forces between corresponding points in
the interpenetrating cloth region resolve the intersections.
Our method can be applied as a preprocessing
step to ensure that modeling results are
suitable for animation. It can also be used during animation
to correct intersections introduced by constraints.
