public static class LSS
extends java.lang.Object
A line-segment swept sphere (also known as a line-swept-sphere, capsule or sometimes
'cigar') class. The LSS is represented by a line-segment and a radius, and is a cylinder
capped with hemispheres.
Distance calculations (and thereby collision checks) can be performed very fast, but
finding the minimum capsule bounding a set of points can be somewhat time-consuming and
no well-documented methods exist for doing this. For a heuristic see [Ericsson 05].
