我发现这个解决方案似乎比其他一些解决方案更容易遵循。

采取:

p1 and p2 as the points for the line, and
c as the center point for the circle and r for the radius

我可以用斜截式来解直线方程。但是，我不想处理以c为点的复杂方程，所以我只是平移了坐标系使圆在(0,0)处

p3 = p1 - c
p4 = p2 - c

顺便说一下，当我相互减分的时候，我是在减去x再减去y，然后把它们放到一个新的点里，以防有人不知道。

不管怎样，我现在解出p3和p4的直线方程

m = (p4_y - p3_y) / (p4_x - p3) (the underscore is an attempt at subscript)
y = mx + b
y - mx = b (just put in a point for x and y, and insert the m we found)

好的。现在我需要让这两个方程相等。首先我需要解圆的x方程

x^2 + y^2 = r^2
y^2 = r^2 - x^2
y = sqrt(r^2 - x^2)

然后我让它们相等:

mx + b = sqrt(r^2 - x^2)

求二次方程(0 = ax^2 + bx + c)

(mx + b)^2 = r^2 - x^2
(mx)^2 + 2mbx + b^2 = r^2 - x^2
0 = m^2 * x^2 + x^2 + 2mbx + b^2 - r^2
0 = (m^2 + 1) * x^2 + 2mbx + b^2 - r^2

现在我有了a b c。

a = m^2 + 1
b = 2mb
c = b^2 - r^2

我把这个代入二次公式

(-b ± sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)) / 2a

用值代入，然后尽可能简化:

(-2mb ± sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)) / 2a
(-2mb ± sqrt((-2mb)^2 - 4(m^2 + 1)(b^2 - r^2))) / 2(m^2 + 1)
(-2mb ± sqrt(4m^2 * b^2 - 4(m^2 * b^2 - m^2 * r^2 + b^2 - r^2))) / 2m^2 + 2
(-2mb ± sqrt(4 * (m^2 * b^2 - (m^2 * b^2 - m^2 * r^2 + b^2 - r^2))))/ 2m^2 + 2
(-2mb ± sqrt(4 * (m^2 * b^2 - m^2 * b^2 + m^2 * r^2 - b^2 + r^2)))/ 2m^2 + 2
(-2mb ± sqrt(4 * (m^2 * r^2 - b^2 + r^2)))/ 2m^2 + 2
(-2mb ± sqrt(4) * sqrt(m^2 * r^2 - b^2 + r^2))/ 2m^2 + 2
(-2mb ± 2 * sqrt(m^2 * r^2 - b^2 + r^2))/ 2m^2 + 2
(-2mb ± 2 * sqrt(m^2 * r^2 + r^2 - b^2))/ 2m^2 + 2
(-2mb ± 2 * sqrt(r^2 * (m^2 + 1) - b^2))/ 2m^2 + 2

这几乎是化简的极限了。最后，分离出带有±的方程:

(-2mb + 2 * sqrt(r^2 * (m^2 + 1) - b^2))/ 2m^2 + 2 or     
(-2mb - 2 * sqrt(r^2 * (m^2 + 1) - b^2))/ 2m^2 + 2 

然后简单地将这两个方程的结果代入mx + b中的x。为了清晰起见，我写了一些JavaScript代码来演示如何使用这个:

function interceptOnCircle(p1,p2,c,r){
    //p1 is the first line point
    //p2 is the second line point
    //c is the circle's center
    //r is the circle's radius

    var p3 = {x:p1.x - c.x, y:p1.y - c.y} //shifted line points
    var p4 = {x:p2.x - c.x, y:p2.y - c.y}

    var m = (p4.y - p3.y) / (p4.x - p3.x); //slope of the line
    var b = p3.y - m * p3.x; //y-intercept of line

    var underRadical = Math.pow((Math.pow(r,2)*(Math.pow(m,2)+1)),2)-Math.pow(b,2)); //the value under the square root sign 

    if (underRadical < 0){
    //line completely missed
        return false;
    } else {
        var t1 = (-2*m*b+2*Math.sqrt(underRadical))/(2 * Math.pow(m,2) + 2); //one of the intercept x's
        var t2 = (-2*m*b-2*Math.sqrt(underRadical))/(2 * Math.pow(m,2) + 2); //other intercept's x
        var i1 = {x:t1,y:m*t1+b} //intercept point 1
        var i2 = {x:t2,y:m*t2+b} //intercept point 2
        return [i1,i2];
    }
}

我希望这能有所帮助!

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

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。

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);
}

http://jsfiddle.net/ercang/ornh3594/1/

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);
}

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。

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; ｝
