有一个很好的方法来解决这个问题就是用向量叉乘。定义二维向量叉乘v × w为vx wy−vy wx。

假设这两条线段从p到p + r，从q到q + s。那么第一行上的任意点都可以表示为p + t r(对于标量参数t)，第二行上的任意点可以表示为q + u s(对于标量参数u)。

如果t和u满足以下条件，两条直线相交:

P + t r = q + u s

两边叉乘s，得到

(p + r) × s = (q + u s) × s

由于s × s = 0，这意味着

T (r × s) = (q−p) × s

因此，求解t:

T = (q−p) × s / (r × s)

同样地，我们可以解出u:

(p + r) × r = (q + u s) × r U (s × r) = (p−q) × r U = (p−q) × r / (s × r)

为了减少计算步骤，可以方便地将其重写为以下形式(记住s × r =−r × s):

U = q−p × r / (r × s)

现在有四种情况:

If r × s = 0 and (q − p) × r = 0, then the two lines are collinear. In this case, express the endpoints of the second segment (q and q + s) in terms of the equation of the first line segment (p + t r): t0 = (q − p) · r / (r · r) t1 = (q + s − p) · r / (r · r) = t0 + s · r / (r · r) If the interval between t0 and t1 intersects the interval [0, 1] then the line segments are collinear and overlapping; otherwise they are collinear and disjoint. Note that if s and r point in opposite directions, then s · r < 0 and so the interval to be checked is [t1, t0] rather than [t0, t1]. If r × s = 0 and (q − p) × r ≠ 0, then the two lines are parallel and non-intersecting. If r × s ≠ 0 and 0 ≤ t ≤ 1 and 0 ≤ u ≤ 1, the two line segments meet at the point p + t r = q + u s. Otherwise, the two line segments are not parallel but do not intersect.

来源:该方法是3D线相交算法的2维专门化，来自Ronald Goldman发表在Graphics Gems，第304页的文章“三条线在三维空间中的相交”。在三维空间中，通常的情况是直线是倾斜的(既不平行也不相交)，在这种情况下，该方法给出了两条直线最接近的点。

根据t3chb0t的答案:

int intersezione_linee(int x1, int y1, int x2, int y2, int x3, int y3, int x4, int y4, int& p_x, int& p_y)
{
   //L1: estremi (x1,y1)(x2,y2) L2: estremi (x3,y3)(x3,y3)
   int d;
   d = (x1-x2)*(y3-y4) - (y1-y2)*(x3-x4);
   if(!d)
       return 0;
   p_x = ((x1*y2-y1*x2)*(x3-x4) - (x1-x2)*(x3*y4-y3*x4))/d;
   p_y = ((x1*y2-y1*x2)*(y3-y4) - (y1-y2)*(x3*y4-y3*x4))/d;
   return 1;
}

int in_bounding_box(int x1, int y1, int x2, int y2, int p_x, int p_y)
{
    return p_x>=x1 && p_x<=x2 && p_y>=y1 && p_y<=y2;

}

int intersezione_segmenti(int x1, int y1, int x2, int y2, int x3, int y3, int x4, int y4, int& p_x, int& p_y)
{
    if (!intersezione_linee(x1,y1,x2,y2,x3,y3,x4,y4,p_x,p_y))
        return 0;

    return in_bounding_box(x1,y1,x2,y2,p_x,p_y) && in_bounding_box(x3,y3,x4,y4,p_x,p_y);
}

上面有很多解决方案，但我认为下面的解决方案很简单，很容易理解。

矢量AB和矢量CD相交当且仅当

端点a和b在线段CD的两边。 端点c和d在线段AB的对边。

更具体地说，a和b在线段CD的对面当且仅当两个三元组中有一个是逆时针顺序的。

Intersect(a, b, c, d)
 if CCW(a, c, d) == CCW(b, c, d)
    return false;
 else if CCW(a, b, c) == CCW(a, b, d)
    return false;
 else
    return true;

这里的CCW代表逆时针，根据点的方向返回真/假。

我认为这个问题有一个更简单的解决方案。今天我想到了另一个想法，看起来效果不错(至少在2D中)。你所要做的就是计算两条直线的交点，然后检查计算的交点是否在两条线段的边界框内。如果是，两条线段相交。就是这样。

这就是我如何计算交集(我不知道我在哪里找到了这个代码片段)

Point3D

来自

System.Windows.Media.Media3D

public static Point3D? Intersection(Point3D start1, Point3D end1, Point3D start2, Point3D end2) {

        double a1 = end1.Y - start1.Y;
        double b1 = start1.X - end1.X;
        double c1 = a1 * start1.X + b1 * start1.Y;

        double a2 = end2.Y - start2.Y;
        double b2 = start2.X - end2.X;
        double c2 = a2 * start2.X + b2 * start2.Y;

        double det = a1 * b2 - a2 * b1;
        if (det == 0) { // lines are parallel
            return null;
        }

        double x = (b2 * c1 - b1 * c2) / det;
        double y = (a1 * c2 - a2 * c1) / det;

        return new Point3D(x, y, 0.0);
    }

这是我的BoundingBox类(为了回答的目的而简化):

public class BoundingBox {
    private Point3D min = new Point3D();
    private Point3D max = new Point3D();

    public BoundingBox(Point3D point) {
        min = point;
        max = point;
    }

    public Point3D Min {
        get { return min; }
        set { min = value; }
    }

    public Point3D Max {
        get { return max; }
        set { max = value; }
    }

    public bool Contains(BoundingBox box) {
        bool contains =
            min.X <= box.min.X && max.X >= box.max.X &&
            min.Y <= box.min.Y && max.Y >= box.max.Y &&
            min.Z <= box.min.Z && max.Z >= box.max.Z;
        return contains;
    }

    public bool Contains(Point3D point) {
        return Contains(new BoundingBox(point));
    }

}

许多答案把所有的计算都打包成一个函数。如果您需要计算直线斜率、y轴截距或x轴截距，以便在代码的其他地方使用，那么这些计算将是冗余的。我分离出了各自的函数，使用了明显的变量名，并注释了我的代码以使其更易于理解。我需要知道直线是否无限超出它们的端点，所以在JavaScript中:
