In this paper we present an interactive collision detection algorithm for complex and deformable objects. For two target models, our approach rapidly calculates their region of interests (ROI), which is the overlapping of their axis aligned bounding boxes (AABBs), in CPU. The surfaces of both models inside the ROI are then voxelized using a novel GPU-based real-time voxelization method. The resultant volumes are represented by two 2D textures in video memory. The collision query is efficiently accomplished by comparing these 2D textures in GPU. The algorithm is robust to handle arbitrary shapes, no matter geometric models are convex or concave, closed or open, rigid or deformable. Our preliminary implementation achieves interactive frame rate for complex models with up to one million triangles on commodity desktop PCs.
