Detailed Description

Intersect a ray with a Right Hyperbolic Cylinder.

Algorithm -

Given V, H, R, and B, there is a set of points on this ehy

{ (x,y,z) | (x,y,z) is on ehy }

Through a series of Affine Transformations, this set of points will be transformed into a set of points on an ehy located at the origin with a semi-major axis R1 along the +Y axis, a semi-minor axis R2 along the -X axis, a height H along the -Z axis, a vertex V at the origin, and a distance c between the tip of the hyperboloid and vertex of the asymptotic cone.

{ (x',y',z') | (x',y',z') is on ehy at origin }

The transformation from X to X' is accomplished by:

X' = S(R( X - V ))

where R(X) = ( R2/(-|R2|) ) ( R1/( |R1|) ) . X ( H /(-|H |) )

and S(X) = ( 1/|R2| 0 0 ) ( 0 1/|R1| 0 ) . X ( 0 0 1/|H | )

To find the intersection of a line with the surface of the ehy, consider the parametric line L:

L : { P(n) | P + t(n) . D }

Call W the actual point of intersection between L and the ehy. Let W' be the point of intersection between L' and the unit ehy.

L' : { P'(n) | P' + t(n) . D' }

W = invR( invS( W' ) ) + V

Where W' = k D' + P'.

If Dy' and Dz' are both 0, then there is no hit on the ehy; but the end plates need checking. If there is now only 1 hit point, the top plate needs to be checked as well.

Line L' hits the infinitely long canonical ehy at W' when

A * k**2 + B * k + C = 0

where

A = Dz'**2 - (2*c' + 1)*(Dx'**2 + Dy'**2) B = 2*( (Pz' + c' + 1)*Dz' - (2*c' + 1)*(Dx'*Px' + Dy'Py') ) C = Pz'**2 - (2*c' + 1)*(Px'**2 + Py'**2 - 1) + 2*(c' + 1)*Pz' b = |Breadth| = 1.0 h = |Height| = 1.0 r = 1.0 c' = c / |Breadth|

The quadratic formula yields k (which is constant):

k = [ -B +/- sqrt( B**2 - 4 * A * C )] / (2.0 * A)

Now, D' = S( R( D ) ) and P' = S( R( P - V ) )

Substituting,

W = V + invR( invS[ k *( S( R( D ) ) ) + S( R( P - V ) ) ] ) = V + invR( ( k * R( D ) ) + R( P - V ) ) = V + k * D + P - V = k * D + P

Note that ``k'' is constant, and is the same in the formulations for both W and W'.

The hit at ``k'' is a hit on the canonical ehy IFF -1 <= Wz' <= 0.

NORMALS. Given the point W on the surface of the ehy, what is the vector normal to the tangent plane at that point?

Map W onto the unit ehy, ie: W' = S( R( W - V ) ).

Plane on unit ehy at W' has a normal vector N' where

N' = <Wx', Wy', -(z + c + 1) / (2*c + 1)>

The plane transforms back to the tangent plane at W, and this new plane (on the original ehy) has a normal vector of N, viz:

N = inverse[ transpose( inverse[ S o R ] ) ] ( N' )

because if H is perpendicular to plane Q, and matrix M maps from Q to Q', then inverse[ transpose(M) ] (H) is perpendicular to Q'. Here, H and Q are in "prime space" with the unit sphere. [Somehow, the notation here is backwards]. So, the mapping matrix M = inverse( S o R ), because S o R maps from normal space to the unit sphere.

N = inverse[ transpose( inverse[ S o R ] ) ] ( N' ) = inverse[ transpose(invR o invS) ] ( N' ) = inverse[ transpose(invS) o transpose(invR) ] ( N' ) = inverse[ inverse(S) o R ] ( N' ) = invR o S ( N' )

because inverse(R) = transpose(R), so R = transpose( invR ), and S = transpose( S ).

Note that the normal vector produced above will not have unit length.

THE TOP PLATE.

If Dz' == 0, line L' is parallel to the top plate, so there is no hit on the top plate. Otherwise, rays intersect the top plate with k = (0 - Pz')/Dz'. The solution is within the top plate IFF Wx'**2 + Wy'**2 <= 1.

The normal for a hit on the top plate is -Hunit.
