This paper computes the min distance between two surfaces of revolution (although you would not know that from the title). Seong, Joon-Kyung, Myung-Soo Kim, and Kokichi Sugihara. "The Minkowski sum of two simple surfaces generated by slope-monotone closed curves." In Geometric Modeling and Processing, pp. 33-42. IEEE, 2002. They match normals using the Gauss maps. | |
| Aug 28, 2018 at 16:00 | comment | added | Gerhard Paseman | Do you know of any papers which cover the case that the objects are two solids of revolution, with "not much concavity"? I would hope the torus has not much concavity and would be part of the allowed list of objects. Gerhard "Axes Should Play A Role" Paseman, 2018.08.28. | |
