好吧，我不会给你代码，但既然你已经标记了这个算法，我认为这对你来说无关紧要。 首先，你要得到一个垂直于这条直线的向量。

y = ax + c是一个未知变量c是未知变量 为了解决这个问题，计算直线经过圆心时的值。

也就是说, 将圆心的位置代入直线方程，解出c。 然后计算原直线与其法线的交点。

这样就能得到直线上离圆最近的点。 计算该点到圆中心之间的距离(使用矢量的大小)。 如果这个小于圆的半径，看，我们有一个交点!

在此post circle中，通过检查圆心与线段上的点(Ipoint)之间的距离来检查线碰撞，该点表示从圆心到线段的法线N(图2)之间的交点。

在图像1中显示一个圆和一条直线，向量A指向线的起点，向量B指向线的终点，向量C指向圆的中心。现在我们必须找到向量E(从线起点到圆中心)和向量D(从线起点到线终点)这个计算如图1所示。

(https://i.stack.imgur.com/7098a.png)

在图2中，我们可以看到向量E通过向量E与单位向量D的“点积”投影到向量D上，点积的结果是标量Xp，表示向量N与向量D的直线起点与交点(Ipoint)之间的距离。 下一个向量X是由单位向量D和标量Xp相乘得到的。

现在我们需要找到向量Z(向量到Ipoint)，它很容易它简单的向量加法向量A(在直线上的起点)和向量x。接下来我们需要处理特殊情况，我们必须检查是Ipoint在线段上，如果不是我们必须找出它是它的左边还是右边，我们将使用向量最接近来确定哪个点最接近圆。

(https://i.stack.imgur.com/p9WIr.png)

当投影Xp为负时，Ipoint在线段的左边，距离最近的向量等于线起点的向量，当投影Xp大于向量D的模时，距离最近的向量在线段的右边，距离最近的向量等于线终点的向量在其他情况下，距离最近的向量等于向量Z。

现在，当我们有最近的向量，我们需要找到从圆中心到Ipoint的向量(dist向量)，很简单，我们只需要从中心向量减去最近的向量。接下来，检查向量距离的大小是否小于圆半径，如果是，那么它们就会碰撞，如果不是，就没有碰撞。

(https://i.stack.imgur.com/QJ63q.png)

最后，我们可以返回一些值来解决碰撞，最简单的方法是返回碰撞的重叠(从矢量dist magnitude中减去半径)和碰撞的轴，它的向量d。如果需要，交点是向量Z。

以下是我在TypeScript中的解决方案，遵循@Mizipzor建议的想法(使用投影):

/**
 * Determines whether a line segment defined by a start and end point intersects with a sphere defined by a center point and a radius
 * @param a the start point of the line segment
 * @param b the end point of the line segment
 * @param c the center point of the sphere
 * @param r the radius of the sphere
 */
export function lineSphereIntersects(
  a: IPoint,
  b: IPoint,
  c: IPoint,
  r: number
): boolean {
  // find the three sides of the triangle formed by the three points
  const ab: number = distance(a, b);
  const ac: number = distance(a, c);
  const bc: number = distance(b, c);

  // check to see if either ends of the line segment are inside of the sphere
  if (ac < r || bc < r) {
    return true;
  }

  // find the angle between the line segment and the center of the sphere
  const numerator: number = Math.pow(ac, 2) + Math.pow(ab, 2) - Math.pow(bc, 2);
  const denominator: number = 2 * ac * ab;
  const cab: number = Math.acos(numerator / denominator);

  // find the distance from the center of the sphere and the line segment
  const cd: number = Math.sin(cab) * ac;

  // if the radius is at least as long as the distance between the center and the line
  if (r >= cd) {
    // find the distance between the line start and the point on the line closest to
    // the center of the sphere
    const ad: number = Math.cos(cab) * ac;
    // intersection occurs when the point on the line closest to the sphere center is
    // no further away than the end of the line
    return ad <= ab;
  }
  return false;
}

export function distance(a: IPoint, b: IPoint): number {
  return Math.sqrt(
    Math.pow(b.z - a.z, 2) + Math.pow(b.y - a.y, 2) + Math.pow(b.x - a.x, 2)
  );
}

export interface IPoint {
  x: number;
  y: number;
  z: number;
}

You can find a point on a infinite line that is nearest to circle center by projecting vector AC onto vector AB. Calculate the distance between that point and circle center. If it is greater that R, there is no intersection. If the distance is equal to R, line is a tangent of the circle and the point nearest to circle center is actually the intersection point. If distance less that R, then there are 2 intersection points. They lie at the same distance from the point nearest to circle center. That distance can easily be calculated using Pythagorean theorem. Here's algorithm in pseudocode:

{
dX = bX - aX;
dY = bY - aY;
if ((dX == 0) && (dY == 0))
  {
  // A and B are the same points, no way to calculate intersection
  return;
  }

dl = (dX * dX + dY * dY);
t = ((cX - aX) * dX + (cY - aY) * dY) / dl;

// point on a line nearest to circle center
nearestX = aX + t * dX;
nearestY = aY + t * dY;

dist = point_dist(nearestX, nearestY, cX, cY);

if (dist == R)
  {
  // line segment touches circle; one intersection point
  iX = nearestX;
  iY = nearestY;

  if (t < 0 || t > 1)
    {
    // intersection point is not actually within line segment
    }
  }
else if (dist < R)
  {
  // two possible intersection points

  dt = sqrt(R * R - dist * dist) / sqrt(dl);

  // intersection point nearest to A
  t1 = t - dt;
  i1X = aX + t1 * dX;
  i1Y = aY + t1 * dY;
  if (t1 < 0 || t1 > 1)
    {
    // intersection point is not actually within line segment
    }

  // intersection point farthest from A
  t2 = t + dt;
  i2X = aX + t2 * dX;
  i2Y = aY + t2 * dY;
  if (t2 < 0 || t2 > 1)
    {
    // intersection point is not actually within line segment
    }
  }
else
  {
  // no intersection
  }
}

编辑:增加了代码来检查所找到的交点是否实际上在线段内。

似乎没人考虑投影，我是不是完全跑题了?

将向量AC投影到AB上，投影的向量AD就得到了新的点D。 如果D和C之间的距离小于(或等于)R，我们有一个交点。

是这样的:

社区编辑:

对于稍后无意中看到这篇文章并想知道如何实现这样一个算法的人来说，这里是一个使用常见向量操作函数用JavaScript编写的通用实现。

/**
 * Returns the distance from line segment AB to point C
 */
function distanceSegmentToPoint(A, B, C) {
    // Compute vectors AC and AB
    const AC = sub(C, A);
    const AB = sub(B, A);

    // Get point D by taking the projection of AC onto AB then adding the offset of A
    const D = add(proj(AC, AB), A);

    const AD = sub(D, A);
    // D might not be on AB so calculate k of D down AB (aka solve AD = k * AB)
    // We can use either component, but choose larger value to reduce the chance of dividing by zero
    const k = Math.abs(AB.x) > Math.abs(AB.y) ? AD.x / AB.x : AD.y / AB.y;

    // Check if D is off either end of the line segment
    if (k <= 0.0) {
        return Math.sqrt(hypot2(C, A));
    } else if (k >= 1.0) {
        return Math.sqrt(hypot2(C, B));
    }

    return Math.sqrt(hypot2(C, D));
}

对于这个实现，我使用了两个常见的矢量操作函数，无论您在什么环境中工作，都可能已经提供了这些函数。但是，如果您还没有这些可用的功能，下面介绍如何实现它们。

// Define some common functions for working with vectors
const add = (a, b) => ({x: a.x + b.x, y: a.y + b.y});
const sub = (a, b) => ({x: a.x - b.x, y: a.y - b.y});
const dot = (a, b) => a.x * b.x + a.y * b.y;
const hypot2 = (a, b) => dot(sub(a, b), sub(a, b));

// Function for projecting some vector a onto b
function proj(a, b) {
    const k = dot(a, b) / dot(b, b);
    return {x: k * b.x, y: k * b.y};
}
