我需要一个基本函数来求点到线段的最短距离。你可以随意用任何你想要的语言来编写解决方案;我可以把它翻译成什么我正在使用(Javascript)。
编辑:线段由两个端点定义。线段AB由两点A (x1,y1)和B (x2,y2)定义。我要求的是这条线段到点C (x3,y3)的距离。我的几何技能生疏了，所以我看到的例子让我很困惑，我很遗憾地承认。
当前回答
如果它是一条无限大的直线，而不是一条线段，最简单的方法是这样(在ruby中)，其中mx + b是直线，(x1, y1)是已知的点
(y1 - mx1 - b).abs / Math.sqrt(m**2 + 1)

Grumdrig的c++ /JavaScript实现对我来说非常有用，所以我提供了我正在使用的Python直接端口。完整的代码在这里。
class Point(object):
def __init__(self, x, y):
self.x = float(x)
self.y = float(y)
def square(x):
return x * x
def distance_squared(v, w):
return square(v.x - w.x) + square(v.y - w.y)
def distance_point_segment_squared(p, v, w):
# Segment length squared, |w-v|^2
d2 = distance_squared(v, w)
if d2 == 0:
# v == w, return distance to v
return distance_squared(p, v)
# Consider the line extending the segment, parameterized as v + t (w - v).
# We find projection of point p onto the line.
# It falls where t = [(p-v) . (w-v)] / |w-v|^2
t = ((p.x - v.x) * (w.x - v.x) + (p.y - v.y) * (w.y - v.y)) / d2;
if t < 0:
# Beyond v end of the segment
return distance_squared(p, v)
elif t > 1.0:
# Beyond w end of the segment
return distance_squared(p, w)
else:
# Projection falls on the segment.
proj = Point(v.x + t * (w.x - v.x), v.y + t * (w.y - v.y))
# print proj.x, proj.y
return distance_squared(p, proj)
以下是Grumdrig解决方案的一个更完整的说明。这个版本还返回最近的点本身。

一个2D和3D的解决方案
考虑基底的变化，使得线段变成(0,0,0)-(d, 0,0)和点(u, v, 0)。在这个平面上，最短的距离由
u ≤ 0 -> d(A, C)
0 ≤ u ≤ d -> |v|
d ≤ u -> d(B, C)
(到其中一个端点或到支撑线的距离，取决于到该线的投影。等距轨迹由两个半圆和两条线段组成。)
式中，d为AB线段的长度，u、v分别为AB/d (AB方向的单位矢量)与AC的标量积和外积的模量。
AB.AC ≤ 0 -> |AC|
0 ≤ AB.AC ≤ AB² -> |ABxAC|/|AB|
AB² ≤ AB.AC -> |BC|
本想在GLSL中这样做，但如果可能的话，最好避免所有这些条件。使用clamp()可以避免两种端点情况:
// find closest point to P on line segment AB:
vec3 closest_point_on_line_segment(in vec3 P, in vec3 A, in vec3 B) {
vec3 AP = P - A, AB = B - A;
float l = dot(AB, AB);
if (l <= 0.0000001) return A; // A and B are practically the same
return AP - AB*clamp(dot(AP, AB)/l, 0.0, 1.0); // do the projection
}
如果您可以确定A和B彼此不会非常接近，则可以简化为删除If()。事实上，即使A和B是相同的，我的GPU仍然给出了这个无条件版本的正确结果(但这是使用pre-OpenGL 4.1，其中GLSL除零是未定义的):
// find closest point to P on line segment AB:
vec3 closest_point_on_line_segment(in vec3 P, in vec3 A, in vec3 B) {
vec3 AP = P - A, AB = B - A;
return AP - AB*clamp(dot(AP, AB)/dot(AB, AB), 0.0, 1.0);
}
计算距离是很简单的——GLSL提供了一个distance()函数，你可以在这个最近的点和P。

使用arctangents的一行解决方案:
思路是将A移动到(0,0)，并顺时针旋转三角形，使C位于X轴上， 当这种情况发生时，By就是距离。
a角= Atan(Cy - Ay, Cx - Ax); b角= Atan(By - Ay, Bx - Ax); AB长度=平方根((Bx - Ax)²+ (By - Ay)²) By = Sin (bAngle - aAngle) * ABLength
C#
public double Distance(Point a, Point b, Point c)
{
// normalize points
Point cn = new Point(c.X - a.X, c.Y - a.Y);
Point bn = new Point(b.X - a.X, b.Y - a.Y);
double angle = Math.Atan2(bn.Y, bn.X) - Math.Atan2(cn.Y, cn.X);
double abLength = Math.Sqrt(bn.X*bn.X + bn.Y*bn.Y);
return Math.Sin(angle)*abLength;
}
一行c#(要转换为SQL)
double distance = Math.Sin(Math.Atan2(b.Y - a.Y, b.X - a.X) - Math.Atan2(c.Y - a.Y, c.X - a.X)) * Math.Sqrt((b.X - a.X) * (b.X - a.X) + (b.Y - a.Y) * (b.Y - a.Y))
