Abstract
In this paper, an elasticity information compression method for impulse response deformation model is discussed. In our past paper, we proposed an approach to haptic interaction with dynamically deformable object. In the approach, the behavior of an object is defined by a set of temporal deformation patterns after impulse force is applied to each degree of freedom, which we call impulse response deformation model. The time complexity of computing interaction force is independent of the complexity of the model, however, vast memory is required to store variety of impulse responses. To solve this problem, we discuss about compression method of the impulse renponses.
