MULTIRESOLUTION BEHAVIORAL MODELING IN A VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT

Abstract:
Dynamic modeling provides realistic and natural looking motion in addition to better interaction with the user and better adaptation to changes in the environment. However, it has a disadvantage of computational cost since all necessary calculations are performed on the fly during the simulation. This deficiency limits the scene complexity as a real-time application. The major objective of this thesis is to speed up a physical simulation by making use of several levels of simulation details that is also called as multiresolution behavioral modeling based on the position of the observer. Multiple dynamically simulated sailing boats in a virtual lake are taken as a test environment for the implementation.
