我会用这个算法来计算点(圆心)和线(线AB)之间的距离。这可以用来确定直线与圆的交点。

假设有点A B c, Ax和Ay是A点的x和y分量。B和c也是一样，标量R是圆半径。

该算法要求A B C是不同的点，且R不为0。

这是算法

// compute the euclidean distance between A and B
LAB = sqrt( (Bx-Ax)²+(By-Ay)² )

// compute the direction vector D from A to B
Dx = (Bx-Ax)/LAB
Dy = (By-Ay)/LAB

// the equation of the line AB is x = Dx*t + Ax, y = Dy*t + Ay with 0 <= t <= LAB.

// compute the distance between the points A and E, where
// E is the point of AB closest the circle center (Cx, Cy)
t = Dx*(Cx-Ax) + Dy*(Cy-Ay)    

// compute the coordinates of the point E
Ex = t*Dx+Ax
Ey = t*Dy+Ay

// compute the euclidean distance between E and C
LEC = sqrt((Ex-Cx)²+(Ey-Cy)²)

// test if the line intersects the circle
if( LEC < R )
{
    // compute distance from t to circle intersection point
    dt = sqrt( R² - LEC²)

    // compute first intersection point
    Fx = (t-dt)*Dx + Ax
    Fy = (t-dt)*Dy + Ay

    // compute second intersection point
    Gx = (t+dt)*Dx + Ax
    Gy = (t+dt)*Dy + Ay
}

// else test if the line is tangent to circle
else if( LEC == R )
    // tangent point to circle is E

else
    // line doesn't touch circle

下面是JavaScript的一个很好的解决方案(包括所有必需的数学和实时插图) https://bl.ocks.org/milkbread/11000965

尽管该解决方案中的is_on函数需要修改:

函数is_on(a, b, c) { return Math.abs(距离(a,c) +距离(c,b) -距离(a,b))<0.000001; ｝

这里你需要一些数学知识:

假设A = (Xa, Ya)， B = (Xb, Yb)， C = (Xc, Yc)。从A到B的直线上的任意一点都有坐标(*Xa + (1-)Xb， * ya + (1-)*Yb) = P

如果点P的距离是R到C，它一定在圆上。你想要的是解决

distance(P, C) = R

这是

(alpha*Xa + (1-alpha)*Xb)^2 + (alpha*Ya + (1-alpha)*Yb)^2 = R^2
alpha^2*Xa^2 + alpha^2*Xb^2 - 2*alpha*Xb^2 + Xb^2 + alpha^2*Ya^2 + alpha^2*Yb^2 - 2*alpha*Yb^2 + Yb^2=R^2
(Xa^2 + Xb^2 + Ya^2 + Yb^2)*alpha^2 - 2*(Xb^2 + Yb^2)*alpha + (Xb^2 + Yb^2 - R^2) = 0

如果你将abc公式应用到这个方程来求解，并使用alpha的解来计算P的坐标，你会得到交点，如果存在的话。

我只是需要它，所以我想出了这个解决方案。语言是maxscript，但是它应该很容易被翻译成任何其他语言。 sideA, sideB和CircleRadius为标量，其余变量为[x,y,z]。假设z=0在XY平面上求解

fn projectPoint p1 p2 p3 = --project  p1 perpendicular to the line p2-p3
(
    local v= normalize (p3-p2)
    local p= (p1-p2)
    p2+((dot v p)*v)
)
fn findIntersectionLineCircle CircleCenter CircleRadius LineP1 LineP2=
(
    pp=projectPoint CircleCenter LineP1 LineP2
    sideA=distance pp CircleCenter
    --use pythagoras to solve the third side
    sideB=sqrt(CircleRadius^2-sideA^2) -- this will return NaN if they don't intersect
    IntersectV=normalize (pp-CircleCenter)
    perpV=[IntersectV.y,-IntersectV.x,IntersectV.z]
    --project the point to both sides to find the solutions
    solution1=pp+(sideB*perpV)
    solution2=pp-(sideB*perpV)
    return #(solution1,solution2)
)

如果直线的坐标为A.x, A.y和B.x, B.y，圆心为C.x, C.y，则直线公式为:

x = A.x * t + B.x * (1 - t)

y = A.y * t + B.y * (1 - t)

0 < = t < = 1

这个圆是

(C.x - x)²+ (C.y - y)²= R²

如果你把直线的x和y公式代入圆公式，你会得到一个t的二阶方程，它的解是交点(如果有的话)。如果你得到的t小于0或大于1，那么它不是一个解，但它表明这条线“指向”圆的方向。

采取

E是射线的起点， L是射线的端点， C是你测试的圆心 R是球面的半径

计算: d = L - E(射线方向矢量，从头到尾) f = E - C(从中心球到射线起点的向量)

然后通过…找到交点。 堵塞: P = E + t * d 这是一个参数方程 Px = Ex + tdx Py = Ey + tdy 成 (x - h)2 + (y - k)2 = r2 (h,k) =圆心。

注意:我们在这里将问题简化为2D，我们得到的解决方案也适用于3D

得到:

Expand x2 - 2xh + h2 + y2 - 2yk + k2 - r2 = 0 Plug x = ex + tdx y = ey + tdy ( ex + tdx )2 - 2( ex + tdx )h + h2 + ( ey + tdy )2 - 2( ey + tdy )k + k2 - r2 = 0 Explode ex2 + 2extdx + t2dx2 - 2exh - 2tdxh + h2 + ey2 + 2eytdy + t2dy2 - 2eyk - 2tdyk + k2 - r2 = 0 Group t2( dx2 + dy2 ) + 2t( exdx + eydy - dxh - dyk ) + ex2 + ey2 - 2exh - 2eyk + h2 + k2 - r2 = 0 Finally, t2( d · d ) + 2t( e · d - d · c ) + e · e - 2( e · c ) + c · c - r2 = 0 Where d is the vector d and · is the dot product. And then, t2( d · d ) + 2t( d · ( e - c ) ) + ( e - c ) · ( e - c ) - r2 = 0 Letting f = e - c t2( d · d ) + 2t( d · f ) + f · f - r2 = 0

所以我们得到: T2 *(d·d) + 2t*(f·d) + (f·f - r2) = 0

求解二次方程:

float a = d.Dot( d ) ;
float b = 2*f.Dot( d ) ;
float c = f.Dot( f ) - r*r ;

float discriminant = b*b-4*a*c;
if( discriminant < 0 )
{
  // no intersection
}
else
{
  // ray didn't totally miss sphere,
  // so there is a solution to
  // the equation.
  
  discriminant = sqrt( discriminant );

  // either solution may be on or off the ray so need to test both
  // t1 is always the smaller value, because BOTH discriminant and
  // a are nonnegative.
  float t1 = (-b - discriminant)/(2*a);
  float t2 = (-b + discriminant)/(2*a);

  // 3x HIT cases:
  //          -o->             --|-->  |            |  --|->
  // Impale(t1 hit,t2 hit), Poke(t1 hit,t2>1), ExitWound(t1<0, t2 hit), 

  // 3x MISS cases:
  //       ->  o                     o ->              | -> |
  // FallShort (t1>1,t2>1), Past (t1<0,t2<0), CompletelyInside(t1<0, t2>1)
  
  if( t1 >= 0 && t1 <= 1 )
  {
    // t1 is the intersection, and it's closer than t2
    // (since t1 uses -b - discriminant)
    // Impale, Poke
    return true ;
  }

  // here t1 didn't intersect so we are either started
  // inside the sphere or completely past it
  if( t2 >= 0 && t2 <= 1 )
  {
    // ExitWound
    return true ;
  }
  
  // no intn: FallShort, Past, CompletelyInside
  return false ;
}
