What are some advanced collision detection techniques in computer graphics?

Advanced collision detection techniques include bounding volume hierarchies, spatial partitioning, and continuous collision detection.

Can you explain how bounding volume hierarchies work?

Bounding volume hierarchies (BVH) use a tree structure to group objects, allowing for efficient collision checks by testing larger volumes first.

What is spatial partitioning and how is it used?

Spatial partitioning divides the space into regions, like grids or octrees, to reduce the number of collision checks needed.

How does continuous collision detection differ from discrete methods?

Continuous collision detection accounts for motion between frames, preventing fast-moving objects from passing through each other.
