warp.bvh_query_aabb#

warp.bvh_query_aabb(
id: uint64,
low: vec3f,
high: vec3f,
root: int32,
) BvhQuery#
  • Kernel

Construct an axis-aligned bounding box (AABB) query against a BVH.

Returns a query that iterates over every item in the BVH whose stored bounding box overlaps the query box [low, high]. Advance the query and read each result with bvh_query_next(). low and high are given in BVH space, i.e. the same coordinate space as the lowers/uppers arrays passed to warp.Bvh.

To restrict traversal to a subtree, set root to that node’s index (for a grouped BVH the group root is obtained from bvh_get_group_root()). If root is -1 (default), traversal starts at the BVH’s global root.

Parameters:
  • id – The BVH identifier

  • low – The lower bound of the query box, in BVH space

  • high – The upper bound of the query box, in BVH space

  • root – The node to begin the query from, or -1 (default) for the BVH’s global root

Returns:

A warp.BvhQuery. It is opaque; pass it to bvh_query_next(), which writes the index of each overlapping item (an index into the arrays passed to warp.Bvh) to its index argument.

Example

@wp.kernel
def query_region(bvh_id: wp.uint64, lowers: wp.array[wp.vec3], uppers: wp.array[wp.vec3],
                 lo: wp.vec3, hi: wp.vec3, centers: wp.array[wp.vec3]):
    query = wp.bvh_query_aabb(bvh_id, lo, hi)
    item = int(0)
    while wp.bvh_query_next(query, item):
        centers[item] = 0.5 * (lowers[item] + uppers[item])

lowers = wp.array([[0, 0, 0], [2, 0, 0], [4, 0, 0]], dtype=wp.vec3)
uppers = wp.array([[1, 1, 1], [3, 1, 1], [5, 1, 1]], dtype=wp.vec3)
bvh = wp.Bvh(lowers=lowers, uppers=uppers)

centers = wp.zeros(3, dtype=wp.vec3)  # center of each object whose box overlaps the region
wp.launch(query_region, dim=1, inputs=[bvh.id, lowers, uppers, wp.vec3(0.5, 0.5, 0.5), wp.vec3(2.5, 0.5, 0.5)], outputs=[centers])
print(centers.numpy().tolist())
[[0.5, 0.5, 0.5], [2.5, 0.5, 0.5], [0.0, 0.0, 0.0]]
