向量

定义:具有大小同时也代表方向的量. 他是几何空间概念中形成的一个抽象的概念. 我们可以用它表示一个三维空间的对象, 例如一个点.

坐标

在笛卡尔坐标系下我们使用三个坐标值代表一个向量, \\\\((x, y, z)\\\\).
三维向量

在计算机中我们可以用一个有三个坐标的类表示并储存向量, 每个坐标都用双精度浮点数来表示.
vec3.h 中, 我定义了个类Vec3用来代表三维向量.

class Vec3 {
public:
    double x;
    double y;
    double z;
    inline Vec3(const double x, const double y, const double z) : x(x), y(y), z(z)
    {
    }
};

为了方便以后调试我加了下面的方法把向量打印出来

ostream& operator<<(ostream& out, const Vec3& v)
{
    out << "(" << v.x << "," << v.y << "," << v.z << ")";
    return out;
}

创建向量-测试

#include "vec3.h"

int main() {
    auto v = Vec3(1.0, 2.0, 3.0);
    std::cout << v << std::endl;
}

创建向量-输出

(1,2,3)

模(向量的大小)

在三维笛卡尔坐标系下的向量$\vec{a}=(x,y,z)$,
其模长为 $\lVert \vec{a} \rVert=\sqrt{x^2+y^2+z^2}$

模-实现

double Vec3::module2() const {
    return this->x*this->x + this->y*this->y + this->z*this->z;
}

double Vec3::module() const {
    return sqrt(this->module2());
}

模-测试

std::cout << "The module of " << a << " is " << a.module() << std::endl;

模-输出

The module of (1,2,3) is 3.74166

向量的基本运算

向量有两个基本运算: 向量相加和标量乘法

向量相加

两个向量$\vec{a}$和$\vec{b}$相加会得到另一个向量, 并且具有以下特点, 封闭性, 交换律, 结合律, 零向量, 加法逆元.
向量相加

向量相减

两个向量$\vec{a}$和$\vec{b}$的相减可以看成是加上了一个与$\vec{b}$大小相等方向相反的向量.
向量相减

$$\vec{a} + \vec{b} = (a_i + b_i)\vec{e}_i + (a_j + b_j)\vec{e}_j + (a_k + b_k)\vec{e}_k$$

返回一个向量, 它的坐标值是两个向量的各个坐标值的相加或相减

向量加减-实现

Vec3 Vec3::operator+(const Vec3& other) const {
    return Vec3(this->x + other.x, this->y + other.y, this->z + other.z);
}

Vec3 Vec3::operator-(const Vec3& other) const {
    return Vec3(this->x - other.x, this->y - other.y, this->z - other.z);
}

向量加减-测试

auto a = Vec3(1.0, 2.0, 3.0);
auto b = Vec3(1.0, 3.0, 5.0);
std::cout << a << "+" << b << "=" << a + b << std::endl;
std::cout << a << "-" << b << "=" << a - b << std::endl;

向量加减-输出

(1,2,3)+(1,3,5)=(2,5,8)
(1,2,3)-(1,3,5)=(0,-1,-2)

标量乘法

$k\vec{v}$, 运算结果是对一个向量的拉伸, 如果k是负数得出的结果会是与$\vec{v}$方向相反

标量乘法-实现

Vec3 Vec3::operator*(double scalar) const {
    return Vec3(this->x * scalar, this->y * scalar, this->z * scalar);
}

Vec3 operator*(double scalar, const Vec3 & vector) {
    return Vec3(vector.x * scalar, vector.y * scalar, vector.z * scalar);
}

标量乘法-测试

std::cout << a << " per 3 is " << a * 3 << std::endl;
std::cout << "3 per " << a << " is " << 3 * a << std::endl;

标量乘法-输出

(1,2,3) per 3 is (3,6,9)
3 per (1,2,3) is (3,6,9)

零向量

始点与终点重合, 大小为零的向量$\vec{0}$

零向量-定义

const Vec3 ZERO_VECTOR = Vec3(0, 0, 0);

反向量

一个向量$\vec{v} (a, b, c)$的反向量$-\vec{v} (-a, -b, -c)$与它大小相等但方向相反.

反向量-实现

Vec3 Vec3::operator-() const {
    return Vec3(-this->x, -this->y, -this->z);
}

反向量-测试

std::cout << "The opposite of " << v << " is " << -v << std::endl;

反向量-输出

The opposite of (1,2,3) is (-1,-2,-3)

单位向量

单位向量$\vec{u}$的任意向量$\vec{a}$, 它的方向与$\vec{a}$相同, 长度为1.
$$ \vec{u}=\frac{\vec{a}}{\lVert \vec{a} \rVert} $$

单位向量-实现

Vec3 Vec3::normalize() const {
    double length = this->module();
    return Vec3(
        this->x / length,
        this->y / length,
        this->z / length
    );
}

单位向量-测试

std::cout << "The unit vector of " << a << " is " << a.normalize() << std::endl;

单位向量-输出

The unit vector of (1,2,3) is (0.267261,0.534522,0.801784)

向量的点积和叉积

点积

代数运算 $\vec{a}*\vec{b}=\sum_{i=1}^{n}{a_i b_i}$.

几何定义 $\vec{a}*\vec{b}=|\vec{a}| |\vec{v}| cos \theta$.

点乘的几何意义

点积-实现

double Vec3::operator*(const Vec3 & other) const {
    return this->x * other.x + this->y * other.y + this->z * other.z;
}

\vec{a} \times \vec{b} =
\begin{bmatrix}
\vec{i} & \vec{j} & \vec{k} \\\\
a_x & a_y & a_z \\\\
b_x & b_y & b_z \\\\
\end{bmatrix}\\\\
a \times b = (a_yb_z-a_zb_y)\vec{i} - (a_xb_z-a_zb_x)\vec{j} + (a_xb_y-a_yb_x)\vec{k}
$$

向量积-实现

Vec3 Vec3::cross(const Vec3 & other) const {
    return Vec3(
        this->y * other.z - this->z * other.y,
        -(this->x * other.z - this->z * other.x),
        this->x*other.y - this->y*other.x
    );
}

std::cout << "The cross product of " << a << " with " << b << " is " << a.cross(b) << std::endl;
std::cout << "The cross product of " << b << " with " << a << " is " << b.cross(a) << std::endl;

\arctan
\Bigg(
\frac
{
\frac
{\lVert \vec{u} \times \vec{v} \rVert}
{\sqrt{(\vec{u}\vec{u})(\vec{v}*\vec{v})}}
}
{
\frac
{\vec{u} * \vec{v}}
{\sqrt{(\vec{u}\vec{u})(\vec{v}*\vec{v})}}
}
\Bigg)
$$

夹角-实现

double Vec3::includedAngle(Vec3 & v) const {
    // compute |u| * |v|
    double divisor = sqrt(this->operator*(*this) * (v * v));
    double cosine = this->operator*(v) / divisor;
    double sine = this->cross(v).module() / divisor;

    return atan2(sine, cosine);
}

夹角-输出

The angle between (1,2,3) and (1,3,5) is 0.110884

三角网格

三角网格是多边形网格(Mesh)的一种, 是一种在计算机图形中用来模拟物体表面的数据结构. 在计算机中现实世界的曲面是用大量的小三角形片去组成的. 由于多边形实际上也能细分成三角形, 所以使用三角网格(Triangle Mesh)是一种比较常见的情况.
三角网格

索引三角网格

为了表示网格我们需要定义点和三角形的数据结构,
点可以用向量, 三角形则保存三个点的索引

class Triangle {
public:
    unsigned int a;
    unsigned int b;
    unsigned int c;

    inline Triangle(unsigned int a, unsigned int b, unsigned int c) :a(a), b(b), c(c) {
    }
};

这些索引指向的是存储在网格中的顶点, 我们必须知道对应是哪个网格三角片才会具有意义.
在网格中我们需要维护两个列表, 顶点表和三角形表

class TriangleMesh {
public:
    std::vector<Vec3> vertices;
    std::vector<Triangle> faces;
};

调试三角网格

std::ostream& operator << (std::ostream & os, const Triangle& t) {
    os << "the Triangle a:" << t.a << ", b:" << t.b << ", c: " << t.c;
    return os;
}

std::ostream& operator << (std::ostream & os, const TriangleMesh& mesh) {
    os << "the mesh has " << mesh.vertices.size() << " vertices and " << mesh.faces.size() << " faces" << std::endl;
    for (auto &v : mesh.vertices) {
        os << v << std::endl;
    }
    for (auto &f : mesh.faces) {
        os << f << std::endl;
    }
    return os;
}

$$
area = \frac{\vec{u} \times \vec{v}}{2}
$$

double TriangleMesh::facetArea(Triangle & f) const {
    auto a = this->vertices[f.a];
    auto b = this->vertices[f.b];
    auto c = this->vertices[f.c];

    auto u = b - a;
    auto v = c - a;

    return u.cross(v).module() / 2;
}

$$

    auto b = this->vertices[t.b];
    auto c = this->vertices[t.c];

三角面法向量-输出

The surface normal associated with the Triangle a:6, b:7, c: 8 is (0,0,1)

顶点法向量

顶点处其实是没有法向量定义的, 在这些地方标注了网格不连续的地方.
一个近似方法使用平均相邻三角面的法向量并将结果标准化.
但是在某些情况下, 其结果并不是所期望的.
例如如果使用平均三角形法向量计算顶点的法向量, 那些边缘特性会被平滑化.

顶点法向量-实现

    Vec3 norm = ZERO_VECTOR;
    for (auto & f : this->faces) {

        }
    }
    return norm.normalize();
}
