这个函数检测Circle和Rectangle之间的碰撞(交集)。他的回答类似于e.James的方法，但这个方法检测矩形的所有角(不仅仅是右角)的碰撞。

注意:

aRect.origin.x和aRect.origin.y是矩形左下角的坐标!

aCircle。x和圆。y为圆心坐标!

static inline BOOL RectIntersectsCircle(CGRect aRect, Circle aCircle) {

    float testX = aCircle.x;
    float testY = aCircle.y;

    if (testX < aRect.origin.x)
        testX = aRect.origin.x;
    if (testX > (aRect.origin.x + aRect.size.width))
        testX = (aRect.origin.x + aRect.size.width);
    if (testY < aRect.origin.y)
        testY = aRect.origin.y;
    if (testY > (aRect.origin.y + aRect.size.height))
        testY = (aRect.origin.y + aRect.size.height);

    return ((aCircle.x - testX) * (aCircle.x - testX) + (aCircle.y - testY) * (aCircle.y - testY)) < aCircle.radius * aCircle.radius;
}

这里有另一个解决方案，实现起来非常简单(也非常快)。它将捕获所有的交点，包括当球体完全进入矩形时。

// clamp(value, min, max) - limits value to the range min..max

// Find the closest point to the circle within the rectangle
float closestX = clamp(circle.X, rectangle.Left, rectangle.Right);
float closestY = clamp(circle.Y, rectangle.Top, rectangle.Bottom);

// Calculate the distance between the circle's center and this closest point
float distanceX = circle.X - closestX;
float distanceY = circle.Y - closestY;

// If the distance is less than the circle's radius, an intersection occurs
float distanceSquared = (distanceX * distanceX) + (distanceY * distanceY);
return distanceSquared < (circle.Radius * circle.Radius);

任何像样的数学库都可以将其缩短为3或4行。

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:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION "DETECT_CIRC_RECT_COLLISION"
(
    circleCenterLat     IN NUMBER,      -- circle Center Latitude
    circleCenterLon     IN NUMBER,      -- circle Center Longitude
    circleRadius        IN NUMBER,      -- circle Radius in KM
    rectSWLat           IN NUMBER,      -- rectangle South West Latitude
    rectSWLon           IN NUMBER,      -- rectangle South West Longitude

)
RETURN NUMBER
AS
    -- converts km to degrees (use 69 if miles)
    kmToDegreeConst     NUMBER := 111.045;

    -- Remaining rectangle vertices 
    rectNWLat   NUMBER;
    rectNWLon   NUMBER;
    rectSELat   NUMBER;
    rectSELon   NUMBER;

    rectHeight  NUMBER;
    rectWIdth   NUMBER;

    circleDistanceLat   NUMBER;
    circleDistanceLon   NUMBER;
    cornerDistanceSQ    NUMBER;

BEGIN
    -- Initialization of remaining rectangle vertices  
    rectNWLat := rectNELat;
    rectNWLon := rectSWLon;
    rectSELat := rectSWLat;
    rectSELon := rectNELon;

    -- Rectangle sides length calculation
    rectHeight := calc_distance(rectSWLat, rectSWLon, rectNWLat, rectNWLon);
    rectWidth := calc_distance(rectSWLat, rectSWLon, rectSELat, rectSELon);

    circleDistanceLat := abs( (circleCenterLat * kmToDegreeConst) - ((rectSWLat * kmToDegreeConst) + (rectHeight/2)) );
    circleDistanceLon := abs( (circleCenterLon * kmToDegreeConst) - ((rectSWLon * kmToDegreeConst) + (rectWidth/2)) );

    IF circleDistanceLon > ((rectWidth/2) + circleRadius) THEN
        RETURN -1;   --  -1 => NO Collision ; 0 => Collision Detected
    END IF;

    IF circleDistanceLat > ((rectHeight/2) + circleRadius) THEN
        RETURN -1;   --  -1 => NO Collision ; 0 => Collision Detected
    END IF;

    IF circleDistanceLon <= (rectWidth/2) THEN
        RETURN 0;   --  -1 => NO Collision ; 0 => Collision Detected
    END IF;

    IF circleDistanceLat <= (rectHeight/2) THEN
        RETURN 0;   --  -1 => NO Collision ; 0 => Collision Detected
    END IF;


    cornerDistanceSQ := POWER(circleDistanceLon - (rectWidth/2), 2) + POWER(circleDistanceLat - (rectHeight/2), 2);

    IF cornerDistanceSQ <=  POWER(circleRadius, 2) THEN
        RETURN 0;  --  -1 => NO Collision ; 0 => Collision Detected
    ELSE
        RETURN -1;  --  -1 => NO Collision ; 0 => Collision Detected
    END IF;

    RETURN -1;  --  -1 => NO Collision ; 0 => Collision Detected
END;    

以下是我的做法:

bool intersects(CircleType circle, RectType rect)
{
    circleDistance.x = abs(circle.x - rect.x);
    circleDistance.y = abs(circle.y - rect.y);

    if (circleDistance.x > (rect.width/2 + circle.r)) { return false; }
    if (circleDistance.y > (rect.height/2 + circle.r)) { return false; }

    if (circleDistance.x <= (rect.width/2)) { return true; } 
    if (circleDistance.y <= (rect.height/2)) { return true; }

    cornerDistance_sq = (circleDistance.x - rect.width/2)^2 +
                         (circleDistance.y - rect.height/2)^2;

    return (cornerDistance_sq <= (circle.r^2));
}

下面是它的工作原理:

The first pair of lines calculate the absolute values of the x and y difference between the center of the circle and the center of the rectangle. This collapses the four quadrants down into one, so that the calculations do not have to be done four times. The image shows the area in which the center of the circle must now lie. Note that only the single quadrant is shown. The rectangle is the grey area, and the red border outlines the critical area which is exactly one radius away from the edges of the rectangle. The center of the circle has to be within this red border for the intersection to occur. The second pair of lines eliminate the easy cases where the circle is far enough away from the rectangle (in either direction) that no intersection is possible. This corresponds to the green area in the image. The third pair of lines handle the easy cases where the circle is close enough to the rectangle (in either direction) that an intersection is guaranteed. This corresponds to the orange and grey sections in the image. Note that this step must be done after step 2 for the logic to make sense. The remaining lines calculate the difficult case where the circle may intersect the corner of the rectangle. To solve, compute the distance from the center of the circle and the corner, and then verify that the distance is not more than the radius of the circle. This calculation returns false for all circles whose center is within the red shaded area and returns true for all circles whose center is within the white shaded area.

为了可视化，拿你的键盘的numpad。如果键“5”代表你的矩形，那么所有的键1-9代表空间的9个象限除以构成矩形的线(5是里面的线)。

1)如果圆的中心在象限5(即在矩形内)，则两个形状相交。

这里有两种可能的情况: a)圆与矩形的两条或多条相邻边相交。 b)圆与矩形的一条边相交。

第一种情况很简单。如果圆与矩形的两条相邻边相交，则它必须包含连接这两条边的角。(或者说它的中心在象限5，我们已经讲过了。还要注意，圆只与矩形的两条相对边相交的情况也被覆盖了。)

2)如果矩形的任意角A、B、C、D在圆内，则这两个形状相交。

第二种情况比较棘手。我们应该注意到，只有当圆的中心位于2、4、6或8象限中的一个象限时，才会发生这种情况。(事实上，如果中心在1、3、7、8象限中的任何一个象限上，则相应的角将是离它最近的点。)

现在我们有了圆的中心在一个“边”象限内的情况，它只与相应的边相交。那么，边缘上最接近圆中心的点必须在圆内。

3)对于每条直线AB, BC, CD, DA，构造经过圆中心p的垂直线p(AB, p)， p(BC, p)， p(CD, p)， p(DA, p)，对于每条垂直线，如果与原边的交点在圆内，则两个图形相交。

最后一步有一个捷径。如果圆的圆心在象限8，边AB是上边，交点的y坐标是A和B, x坐标是P。

你可以构造四条线的交点并检查它们是否在相应的边上，或者找出P在哪个象限并检查相应的交点。两者都应该化简为相同的布尔方程。要注意的是，上面的步骤2并没有排除P位于“角落”象限之一;它只是在寻找一个十字路口。

编辑:事实证明，我忽略了一个简单的事实，即#2是#3的子情况。毕竟，角也是边缘上的点。请看下面@ShreevatsaR的回答，你会得到很好的解释。与此同时，忘记上面的第二条，除非你想要一个快速但冗余的检查。

球面和矩形相交于IIF 圆心和矩形的一个顶点之间的距离小于球体的半径 或 圆心与矩形的一条边之间的距离小于球面的半径([点线距离]) 或 圆的中心在矩形的内部 一点上距离:

P1 = [x1,y1]
P2 = [x2,y2]
Distance = sqrt(abs(x1 - x2)+abs(y1-y2))

点线路距离:

L1 = [x1,y1],L2 = [x2,y2] (two points of your line, ie the vertex points)
P1 = [px,py] some point

Distance d =  abs( (x2-x1)(y1-py)-(x1-px)(y2-y1) ) / Distance(L1,L2)

矩形内圆中心: 采用分离轴的方法:如果存在一个投影到一条直线上，将矩形与点分开，它们就不相交

您将点投影在平行于矩形边的直线上，然后可以很容易地确定它们是否相交。如果它们不在所有4个投影上相交，它们(点和矩形)就不能相交。

你只需要内积(x= [x1,x2]，y = [y1,y2]，x *y = x1*y1 + x2*y2)

你的测试应该是这样的:

//rectangle edges: TL (top left), TR (top right), BL (bottom left), BR (bottom right)
//point to test: POI

seperated = false
for egde in { {TL,TR}, {BL,BR}, {TL,BL},{TR-BR} }:  // the edges
    D = edge[0] - edge[1]
    innerProd =  D * POI
    Interval_min = min(D*edge[0],D*edge[1])
    Interval_max = max(D*edge[0],D*edge[1])
    if not (  Interval_min ≤ innerProd ≤  Interval_max ) 
           seperated = true
           break  // end for loop 
    end if
end for
if (seperated is true)    
      return "no intersection"
else 
      return "intersection"
end if

它没有假设一个轴对齐的矩形，并且很容易扩展用于测试凸集之间的交集。
