We present a new approach to the development of efficient geometric algorithms for freeform curves and surfaces. Preprocessing the given curves and surfaces and representing them in a hierarchical data structure, we show that a variety of geometric algorithms can be greatly accelerated. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach by developing real-time algorithms for collision detection, minimum and Hausdorff distance computation, convex hull computation for freeform models.
