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。

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|

嘿,我昨天才写的。它在Actionscript 3.0中,基本上是Javascript,尽管你可能没有相同的Point类。
//st = start of line segment
//b = the line segment (as in: st + b = end of line segment)
//pt = point to test
//Returns distance from point to line segment.
//Note: nearest point on the segment to the test point is right there if we ever need it
public static function linePointDist( st:Point, b:Point, pt:Point ):Number
{
var nearestPt:Point; //closest point on seqment to pt
var keyDot:Number = dot( b, pt.subtract( st ) ); //key dot product
var bLenSq:Number = dot( b, b ); //Segment length squared
if( keyDot <= 0 ) //pt is "behind" st, use st
{
nearestPt = st
}
else if( keyDot >= bLenSq ) //pt is "past" end of segment, use end (notice we are saving twin sqrts here cuz)
{
nearestPt = st.add(b);
}
else //pt is inside segment, reuse keyDot and bLenSq to get percent of seqment to move in to find closest point
{
var keyDotToPctOfB:Number = keyDot/bLenSq; //REM dot product comes squared
var partOfB:Point = new Point( b.x * keyDotToPctOfB, b.y * keyDotToPctOfB );
nearestPt = st.add(partOfB);
}
var dist:Number = (pt.subtract(nearestPt)).length;
return dist;
}
此外,这里有一个关于这个问题的相当完整和可读的讨论:notejot.com
I'm assuming you want to find the shortest distance between the point and a line segment; to do this, you need to find the line (lineA) which is perpendicular to your line segment (lineB) which goes through your point, determine the intersection between that line (lineA) and your line which goes through your line segment (lineB); if that point is between the two points of your line segment, then the distance is the distance between your point and the point you just found which is the intersection of lineA and lineB; if the point is not between the two points of your line segment, you need to get the distance between your point and the closer of two ends of the line segment; this can be done easily by taking the square distance (to avoid a square root) between the point and the two points of the line segment; whichever is closer, take the square root of that one.
WPF版本:
public class LineSegment
{
private readonly Vector _offset;
private readonly Vector _vector;
public LineSegment(Point start, Point end)
{
_offset = (Vector)start;
_vector = (Vector)(end - _offset);
}
public double DistanceTo(Point pt)
{
var v = (Vector)pt - _offset;
// first, find a projection point on the segment in parametric form (0..1)
var p = (v * _vector) / _vector.LengthSquared;
// and limit it so it lays inside the segment
p = Math.Min(Math.Max(p, 0), 1);
// now, find the distance from that point to our point
return (_vector * p - v).Length;
}
}
这是我最后写的代码。这段代码假设一个点以{x:5, y:7}的形式定义。注意,这不是绝对最有效的方法,但它是我能想到的最简单、最容易理解的代码。
// a, b, and c in the code below are all points
function distance(a, b)
{
var dx = a.x - b.x;
var dy = a.y - b.y;
return Math.sqrt(dx*dx + dy*dy);
}
function Segment(a, b)
{
var ab = {
x: b.x - a.x,
y: b.y - a.y
};
var length = distance(a, b);
function cross(c) {
return ab.x * (c.y-a.y) - ab.y * (c.x-a.x);
};
this.distanceFrom = function(c) {
return Math.min(distance(a,c),
distance(b,c),
Math.abs(cross(c) / length));
};
}
