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:

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};
}

基于@Joe Skeen的python解决方案

def check_line_segment_circle_intersection(line, point, radious):
    """ Checks whether a point intersects with a line defined by two points.

    A `point` is list with two values: [2, 3]

    A `line` is list with two points: [point1, point2]

    """
    line_distance = distance(line[0], line[1])
    distance_start_to_point = distance(line[0], point)
    distance_end_to_point = distance(line[1], point)

    if (distance_start_to_point <= radious or distance_end_to_point <= radious):
        return True

    # angle between line and point with law of cosines
    numerator = (math.pow(distance_start_to_point, 2)
                 + math.pow(line_distance, 2)
                 - math.pow(distance_end_to_point, 2))
    denominator = 2 * distance_start_to_point * line_distance
    ratio = numerator / denominator
    ratio = ratio if ratio <= 1 else 1  # To account for float errors
    ratio = ratio if ratio >= -1 else -1  # To account for float errors
    angle = math.acos(ratio)

    # distance from the point to the line with sin projection
    distance_line_to_point = math.sin(angle) * distance_start_to_point

    if distance_line_to_point <= radious:
        point_projection_in_line = math.cos(angle) * distance_start_to_point
        # Intersection occurs whent the point projection in the line is less
        # than the line distance and positive
        return point_projection_in_line <= line_distance and point_projection_in_line >= 0
    return False

def distance(point1, point2):
    return math.sqrt(
        math.pow(point1[1] - point2[1], 2) +
        math.pow(point1[0] - point2[0], 2)
    )

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)
)

如果你找到了圆心(因为它是3D的，我想你是指球体而不是圆)和直线之间的距离，然后检查这个距离是否小于可以做到这一点的半径。

碰撞点显然是直线和球面之间最近的点(当你计算球面和直线之间的距离时，会计算出这个点)

点与线之间的距离: http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Point-LineDistance3-Dimensional.html

我写了一个小脚本，通过将圆的中心点投影到直线上来测试相交。

vector distVector = centerPoint - projectedPoint;
if(distVector.length() < circle.radius)
{
    double distance = circle.radius - distVector.length();
    vector moveVector = distVector.normalize() * distance;
    circle.move(moveVector);
}

如果需要检查与线段的碰撞，还需要考虑圆心到起点和终点的距离。

vector distVector = centerPoint - startPoint;
if(distVector.length() < circle.radius)
{
    double distance = circle.radius - distVector.length();
    vector moveVector = distVector.normalize() * distance;
    circle.move(moveVector);
}

圆真的是一个坏人:)所以一个好办法是避免真正的圆，如果可以的话。如果你正在为游戏做碰撞检查，你可以进行一些简化，只做3个点积，并进行一些比较。

我称之为“胖点”或“瘦圈”。它是平行于线段方向上半径为0的椭圆。而是垂直于线段方向的全半径

首先，我会考虑重命名和切换坐标系统，以避免过多的数据:

s0s1 = B-A;
s0qp = C-A;
rSqr = r*r;

其次，hvec2f中的索引h意味着vector必须支持水平操作，如dot()/det()。这意味着它的组件被放置在一个单独的xmm寄存器中，以避免shuffle /hadd'ing/hsub'ing。现在我们开始，最简单的2D游戏碰撞检测的最佳性能版本:

bool fat_point_collides_segment(const hvec2f& s0qp, const hvec2f& s0s1, const float& rSqr) {
    auto a = dot(s0s1, s0s1);
    //if( a != 0 ) // if you haven't zero-length segments omit this, as it would save you 1 _mm_comineq_ss() instruction and 1 memory fetch
    {
        auto b = dot(s0s1, s0qp);
        auto t = b / a; // length of projection of s0qp onto s0s1
        //std::cout << "t = " << t << "\n";
        if ((t >= 0) && (t <= 1)) // 
        {
            auto c = dot(s0qp, s0qp);
            auto r2 = c - a * t * t;
            return (r2 <= rSqr); // true if collides
        }
    }   
    return false;
}

我怀疑你能进一步优化它。我正在用它进行神经网络驱动的赛车碰撞检测，处理数百万个迭代步骤。
