我试图创建一个快速的2D点内多边形算法,用于命中测试(例如多边形.contains(p:点))。对有效技术的建议将不胜感激。

当我还是Michael Stonebraker手下的一名研究员时,我做了一些关于这方面的工作——你知道,就是那位提出了Ingres、PostgreSQL等的教授。

我们意识到最快的方法是首先做一个边界框,因为它非常快。如果它在边界框之外,它就在外面。否则,你就得做更辛苦的工作……

如果你想要一个伟大的算法,看看开源项目PostgreSQL的源代码的地理工作…

我想指出的是,我们从来没有深入了解过左撇子和右撇子(也可以表达为“内”和“外”的问题……

BKB's link provided a good number of reasonable algorithms. I was working on Earth Science problems and therefore needed a solution that works in latitude/longitude, and it has the peculiar problem of handedness - is the area inside the smaller area or the bigger area? The answer is that the "direction" of the verticies matters - it's either left-handed or right handed and in this way you can indicate either area as "inside" any given polygon. As such, my work used solution three enumerated on that page.

此外,我的工作使用单独的函数进行“在线”测试。

...因为有人问:我们发现当垂直的数量超过某个数字时,边界盒测试是最好的——如果有必要,在做更长的测试之前做一个非常快速的测试……边界框是通过简单地将最大的x,最小的x,最大的y和最小的y放在一起,组成一个框的四个点来创建的……

另一个提示是:我们在网格空间中进行了所有更复杂的“调光”计算,都是在平面上的正点上进行的,然后重新投影到“真实”的经度/纬度上,从而避免了在经度180线交叉时和处理极地时可能出现的环绕错误。工作好了!

David Segond's answer is pretty much the standard general answer, and Richard T's is the most common optimization, though therre are some others. Other strong optimizations are based on less general solutions. For example if you are going to check the same polygon with lots of points, triangulating the polygon can speed things up hugely as there are a number of very fast TIN searching algorithms. Another is if the polygon and points are on a limited plane at low resolution, say a screen display, you can paint the polygon onto a memory mapped display buffer in a given colour, and check the color of a given pixel to see if it lies in the polygons.

像许多优化一样,这些优化是基于特定情况而不是一般情况,并且基于摊销时间而不是单次使用产生效益。

在这个领域工作,我发现约瑟夫·奥鲁克斯的《计算几何》在C' ISBN 0-521-44034-3是一个很大的帮助。

对于检测多边形上的命中,我们需要测试两件事:

如果点在多边形区域内。(可通过Ray-Casting算法实现) 如果点在多边形边界上(可以用与在折线(线)上检测点相同的算法来完成)。

我已经做了nirg的c++代码的Python实现:

输入

Bounding_points:组成多边形的节点。 Bounding_box_positions:筛选的候选点。(在我从边界框创建的实现中。 (输入为元组列表,格式为:[(xcord, ycord),…])

返回

多边形内的所有点。

def polygon_ray_casting(self, bounding_points, bounding_box_positions):
    # Arrays containing the x- and y-coordinates of the polygon's vertices.
    vertx = [point[0] for point in bounding_points]
    verty = [point[1] for point in bounding_points]
    # Number of vertices in the polygon
    nvert = len(bounding_points)
    # Points that are inside
    points_inside = []

    # For every candidate position within the bounding box
    for idx, pos in enumerate(bounding_box_positions):
        testx, testy = (pos[0], pos[1])
        c = 0
        for i in range(0, nvert):
            j = i - 1 if i != 0 else nvert - 1
            if( ((verty[i] > testy ) != (verty[j] > testy))   and
                    (testx < (vertx[j] - vertx[i]) * (testy - verty[i]) / (verty[j] - verty[i]) + vertx[i]) ):
                c += 1
        # If odd, that means that we are inside the polygon
        if c % 2 == 1: 
            points_inside.append(pos)


    return points_inside

同样,这个想法也是从这里得来的

我知道这是旧的,但这里是一个在Cocoa实现的光线投射算法,如果有人感兴趣的话。不确定这是最有效的方法,但它可能会帮助别人。
