Badouel intersection algorithm
open-in-new
<p>The Badouel <a href="/facts/Ray_(geometry)/gJqsr4Gj">ray</a>-<a href="/facts/Triangle/cRXUwsMn">triangle</a> intersection <a href="/facts/Algorithm/fnl5NmRt">algorithm</a>, named after its inventor Didier Badouel, is a fast method for calculating the <a href="/facts/Intersection_(Euclidean_geometry)/RwH57yPq">intersection</a> of a ray and a triangle in three <a href="/facts/Dimension/0ktmUyac">dimensions</a> without needing precomputation of the <a href="/facts/Plane_equation/tAUtRFcn">plane equation</a> of the <a href="/facts/Plane_(geometry)/tAUtRFcn">plane</a> containing the triangle. </p>
