This paper proposes a new method for the high- speed penetration detection between the 3D human body model and the 3D cloth model using a virtual cylinder, and for the correction of the 3D cloth model. Penetration sometimes occurs locally, when the cloth model is adopted geometrically to the body. This method establishes the virtual cylinder surrounding the body model and the cloth model, and selects at a time the candidates of the penetrated points using the virtual cylinder. Finally, the penetrated points are detected among the candidates. Shift of the vertices or division of the edges in the penetrated points can correct the cloth model geometrically. This method works faster than the physical-based method. The latter requires the repeated detection of the penetrated points using bounding volume and the repeated corrections of the cloth model using dynamics.
