Title:
- Novel Algorithm for Sparse and Parallel Fast Sweeping: Eicient Computation of Sparse Signed Distance Fields
Presenter(s)/Author(s):
Abstract:
We present a new efficient algorithm for computing signed distance fields by means of the Fast Sweeping Method. Unlike existing algorithms ours is explicitly designed to explore the benefits of sparse (vs dense) grids as well as concurrency, i.e. mutli-threading.
