圆与矩形相交只有两种情况:

圆的中心在矩形的内部，或者 矩形的一条边在圆上有一个点。

注意，这并不要求矩形与轴平行。

(一种方法是:如果没有一条边在圆中有点(如果所有的边都完全“在”圆外)，那么圆仍然可以与多边形相交的唯一方法是它完全位于多边形内部。)

有了这样的见解，就可以像下面这样工作，其中圆的中心是P，半径是R，矩形的顶点是A, B, C, D(不完整的代码):

def intersect(Circle(P, R), Rectangle(A, B, C, D)):
    S = Circle(P, R)
    return (pointInRectangle(P, Rectangle(A, B, C, D)) or
            intersectCircle(S, (A, B)) or
            intersectCircle(S, (B, C)) or
            intersectCircle(S, (C, D)) or
            intersectCircle(S, (D, A)))

如果你在写任何几何，你的库中可能已经有了上面的函数。否则，pointInRectangle()可以用几种方式实现;任何一般的多边形点方法都可以工作，但对于矩形，你可以检查这是否有效:

0 ≤ AP·AB ≤ AB·AB and 0 ≤ AP·AD ≤ AD·AD

intersectCircle()也很容易实现:一种方法是检查从P到直线的垂线的脚是否足够近并且在端点之间，否则检查端点。

最酷的是，同样的想法不仅适用于矩形，而且适用于一个圆与任何简单多边形的交点——甚至不必是凸多边形!

下面是我的C代码，用于解决球体和非轴对齐的盒子之间的碰撞。它依赖于我自己的几个库例程，但它可能对某些人有用。我在游戏中使用了它，效果非常好。

float physicsProcessCollisionBetweenSelfAndActorRect(SPhysics *self, SPhysics *actor)

        if(fabs(relative_position_of_circle.x) > half_rect_w && fabs(relative_position_of_circle.y) > half_rect_h)
        {
            SVector edges;
            if(relative_position_of_circle.x > 0) edges.x = half_rect_w; else edges.x = -half_rect_w;

            push_vector = relative_position_of_circle;
            moveVectorByInverseVector2D(&push_vector, &edges);

            // We now have the vector from the corner of the rect to the point.
            float delta_length = getVector2DMagnitude(&push_vector);
            float diff = self->physicsRadius - delta_length; // Find out how far away we are from our ideal distance

            // Normalise the vector
            push_vector.x /= delta_length;
            push_vector.y /= delta_length;

                push_vector.x = (half_rect_w + self->physicsRadius) - relative_position_of_circle.x;
            else

        }

        diff = 0; // Cheat, since we don't do anything with the value anyway
        rotateVector2DBy(&push_vector, actor->axis.angleZ);
        SVector *from = &self->worldPosition;       
        moveVectorBy2D(from, push_vector.x, push_vector.y);
    }   
    return diff;
}

稍微改进一下e。james的回答:

double dx = abs(circle.x - rect.x) - rect.w / 2,
       dy = abs(circle.y - rect.y) - rect.h / 2;

if (dx > circle.r || dy > circle.r) { return false; }
if (dx <= 0 || dy <= 0) { return true; }

return (dx * dx + dy * dy <= circle.r * circle.r);

这就减去了一次，而不是最多减去三次。

对于那些需要用SQL在地理坐标中计算圆/矩形碰撞的人， 这是我在oracle 11中实现的e.James建议算法。

在输入中，它需要圆坐标，圆半径km和矩形的两个顶点坐标:

假设你有矩形的四条边，检查从这些边到圆心的距离，如果小于半径，那么这些形状是相交的。

if sqrt((rectangleRight.x - circleCenter.x)^2 +
        (rectangleBottom.y - circleCenter.y)^2) < radius
// then they intersect

if sqrt((rectangleRight.x - circleCenter.x)^2 +
        (rectangleTop.y - circleCenter.y)^2) < radius
// then they intersect

if sqrt((rectangleLeft.x - circleCenter.x)^2 +
        (rectangleTop.y - circleCenter.y)^2) < radius
// then they intersect

if sqrt((rectangleLeft.x - circleCenter.x)^2 +
        (rectangleBottom.y - circleCenter.y)^2) < radius
// then they intersect

下面是修改后的代码100%工作:

public static bool IsIntersected(PointF circle, float radius, RectangleF rectangle)
{
    var rectangleCenter = new PointF((rectangle.X +  rectangle.Width / 2),
                                     (rectangle.Y + rectangle.Height / 2));

    var w = rectangle.Width  / 2;
    var h = rectangle.Height / 2;

    var dx = Math.Abs(circle.X - rectangleCenter.X);
    var dy = Math.Abs(circle.Y - rectangleCenter.Y);

    if (dx > (radius + w) || dy > (radius + h)) return false;

    var circleDistance = new PointF
                             {
                                 X = Math.Abs(circle.X - rectangle.X - w),
                                 Y = Math.Abs(circle.Y - rectangle.Y - h)
                             };

    if (circleDistance.X <= (w))
    {
        return true;
    }

    if (circleDistance.Y <= (h))
    {
        return true;
    }

    var cornerDistanceSq = Math.Pow(circleDistance.X - w, 2) + 
                                    Math.Pow(circleDistance.Y - h, 2);

    return (cornerDistanceSq <= (Math.Pow(radius, 2)));
}
