| Summary: | aerodynamics. The resulting flocking behavior dramatically algorithm provides desired direction and speed for each bird, an actual bird. Previous flocking methods do not consider and animation. Previous attempts at simulating flocks and the control system adjusts the bird's behavior to achieve are also stored as cubic splines for immediate retrieval bird. As the bird is maneuvering, subtle changes in the birds in a flock with the use of physically-based cubic spline curve. Aerodynamic properties such as the differential twisting of the wings and do not manipulate the differentially twists the wings, and maneuvers the tail in during simulation. A flight simulator interface allows the flock. The motion of the bird's wing is pre-stored as a flock's path to be choreographed from the viewpoint of a lead improves on results previously obtained in computer graphics maneuverable tail are made to provide the bird with the necessary mechanics to maneuver through the air. A control realism because the subtle changes occur in a way similar to realistically, although believable, do not consider the subtle motions a bird makes when maneuvering to remain in a such a way as to provide the lift and torque necessary to surface area of the wing, the wingspan and the wing velocity system (mimicking the bird's internal control strategy) tail to assist in a turn. The flocking algorithm is built these goals. This thesis describes a method for simulating the flight of turn the bird in a desired direction. This provides more twisting and flapping of the wings, as well as a dynamically upon the aerodynamic bird model and control system. This |
