这是一个Javascript实现。我的方法是首先将线段转换成一条无限的直线，然后找到交点。从那里，我检查是否找到的点在线段上。代码有良好的文档记录，您应该能够跟随。

您可以在这个现场演示中试用代码。 代码是从我的算法仓库里拿的。

        return True

    # angle between line and point with law of cosines
    numerator = (math.pow(distance_start_to_point, 2)
                 + math.pow(line_distance, 2)

如果直线的坐标为A.x, A.y和B.x, B.y，圆心为C.x, C.y，则直线公式为:

x = A.x * t + B.x * (1 - t)

y = A.y * t + B.y * (1 - t)

0 < = t < = 1

这个圆是

(C.x - x)²+ (C.y - y)²= R²

如果你把直线的x和y公式代入圆公式，你会得到一个t的二阶方程，它的解是交点(如果有的话)。如果你得到的t小于0或大于1，那么它不是一个解，但它表明这条线“指向”圆的方向。

我会用这个算法来计算点(圆心)和线(线AB)之间的距离。这可以用来确定直线与圆的交点。

假设有点A B c, Ax和Ay是A点的x和y分量。B和c也是一样，标量R是圆半径。

该算法要求A B C是不同的点，且R不为0。

这是算法

// compute the euclidean distance between A and B
LAB = sqrt( (Bx-Ax)²+(By-Ay)² )

// compute the direction vector D from A to B
Dx = (Bx-Ax)/LAB
Dy = (By-Ay)/LAB

// the equation of the line AB is x = Dx*t + Ax, y = Dy*t + Ay with 0 <= t <= LAB.

// compute the distance between the points A and E, where
// E is the point of AB closest the circle center (Cx, Cy)
t = Dx*(Cx-Ax) + Dy*(Cy-Ay)    

// compute the coordinates of the point E
Ex = t*Dx+Ax
Ey = t*Dy+Ay

// compute the euclidean distance between E and C
LEC = sqrt((Ex-Cx)²+(Ey-Cy)²)

// test if the line intersects the circle
if( LEC < R )
{
    // compute distance from t to circle intersection point
    dt = sqrt( R² - LEC²)

    // compute first intersection point
    Fx = (t-dt)*Dx + Ax
    Fy = (t-dt)*Dy + Ay

    // compute second intersection point
    Gx = (t+dt)*Dx + Ax
    Gy = (t+dt)*Dy + Ay
}

// else test if the line is tangent to circle
else if( LEC == R )
    // tangent point to circle is E

else
    // line doesn't touch circle

似乎没人考虑投影，我是不是完全跑题了?

将向量AC投影到AB上，投影的向量AD就得到了新的点D。 如果D和C之间的距离小于(或等于)R，我们有一个交点。

是这样的:

社区编辑:

对于稍后无意中看到这篇文章并想知道如何实现这样一个算法的人来说，这里是一个使用常见向量操作函数用JavaScript编写的通用实现。

/**
 * Returns the distance from line segment AB to point C
 */
function distanceSegmentToPoint(A, B, C) {
    // Compute vectors AC and AB
    const AC = sub(C, A);
    const AB = sub(B, A);

    // Get point D by taking the projection of AC onto AB then adding the offset of A
    const D = add(proj(AC, AB), A);

    const AD = sub(D, A);
    // D might not be on AB so calculate k of D down AB (aka solve AD = k * AB)
    // We can use either component, but choose larger value to reduce the chance of dividing by zero
    const k = Math.abs(AB.x) > Math.abs(AB.y) ? AD.x / AB.x : AD.y / AB.y;

    // Check if D is off either end of the line segment
    if (k <= 0.0) {
        return Math.sqrt(hypot2(C, A));
    } else if (k >= 1.0) {
        return Math.sqrt(hypot2(C, B));
    }

    return Math.sqrt(hypot2(C, D));
}

对于这个实现，我使用了两个常见的矢量操作函数，无论您在什么环境中工作，都可能已经提供了这些函数。但是，如果您还没有这些可用的功能，下面介绍如何实现它们。

// Define some common functions for working with vectors
const add = (a, b) => ({x: a.x + b.x, y: a.y + b.y});
const sub = (a, b) => ({x: a.x - b.x, y: a.y - b.y});
const dot = (a, b) => a.x * b.x + a.y * b.y;
const hypot2 = (a, b) => dot(sub(a, b), sub(a, b));

// Function for projecting some vector a onto b
function proj(a, b) {
    const k = dot(a, b) / dot(b, b);
    return {x: k * b.x, y: k * b.y};
}

在此post circle中，通过检查圆心与线段上的点(Ipoint)之间的距离来检查线碰撞，该点表示从圆心到线段的法线N(图2)之间的交点。

(https://i.stack.imgur.com/3o6do.png)

在图像1中显示一个圆和一条直线，向量A指向线的起点，向量B指向线的终点，向量C指向圆的中心。现在我们必须找到向量E(从线起点到圆中心)和向量D(从线起点到线终点)这个计算如图1所示。

(https://i.stack.imgur.com/7098a.png)

在图2中，我们可以看到向量E通过向量E与单位向量D的“点积”投影到向量D上，点积的结果是标量Xp，表示向量N与向量D的直线起点与交点(Ipoint)之间的距离。 下一个向量X是由单位向量D和标量Xp相乘得到的。

现在我们需要找到向量Z(向量到Ipoint)，它很容易它简单的向量加法向量A(在直线上的起点)和向量x。接下来我们需要处理特殊情况，我们必须检查是Ipoint在线段上，如果不是我们必须找出它是它的左边还是右边，我们将使用向量最接近来确定哪个点最接近圆。

(https://i.stack.imgur.com/p9WIr.png)

当投影Xp为负时，Ipoint在线段的左边，距离最近的向量等于线起点的向量，当投影Xp大于向量D的模时，距离最近的向量在线段的右边，距离最近的向量等于线终点的向量在其他情况下，距离最近的向量等于向量Z。

现在，当我们有最近的向量，我们需要找到从圆中心到Ipoint的向量(dist向量)，很简单，我们只需要从中心向量减去最近的向量。接下来，检查向量距离的大小是否小于圆半径，如果是，那么它们就会碰撞，如果不是，就没有碰撞。

(https://i.stack.imgur.com/QJ63q.png)

最后，我们可以返回一些值来解决碰撞，最简单的方法是返回碰撞的重叠(从矢量dist magnitude中减去半径)和碰撞的轴，它的向量d。如果需要，交点是向量Z。
