我从《多视图几何》这本书里读到了这些算法

以下文本使用

'作为转置符号

*作为点积

当用作算子时，X作为叉乘

1. 线的定义

点x_vec = (x, y)'在直线ax + by + c = 0上

标记L = (a, b, c)'，点为(x, y, 1)'为齐次坐标

直线方程可以写成

(x, y, 1)(a, b, c)' = 0或x' * L = 0

2. 直线交点

我们有两条直线L1=(a1, b1, c1)'， L2=(a2, b2, c2)'

假设x是一个点，一个向量，x = L1 x L2 (L1叉乘L2)。

注意，x始终是一个二维点，如果你对(L1xL2)是一个三元素向量，x是一个二维坐标感到困惑，请阅读齐次坐标。

根据三重积，我们知道

L1 * (L1 x L2) = 0, L2 * (L1 x L2) = 0，因为L1,L2共平面

我们用向量x代替L1*x，那么L1*x=0, L2*x=0，这意味着x在L1和L2上，x是交点。

注意，这里x是齐次坐标，如果x的最后一个元素是零，这意味着L1和L2是平行的。

这是基于Gareth Ree的回答。它还返回线段重叠的情况。用c++编写的V是一个简单的向量类。其中二维中两个向量的外积返回一个标量。通过了学校自动测试系统的测试。

//Required input point must be colinear with the line
bool on_segment(const V& p, const LineSegment& l)
{
    //If a point is on the line, the sum of the vectors formed by the point to the line endpoints must be equal
    V va = p - l.pa;
    V vb = p - l.pb;
    R ma = va.magnitude();
    R mb = vb.magnitude();
    R ml = (l.pb - l.pa).magnitude();
    R s = ma + mb;
    bool r = s <= ml + epsilon;
    return r;
}

//Compute using vector math
// Returns 0 points if the lines do not intersect or overlap
// Returns 1 point if the lines intersect
//  Returns 2 points if the lines overlap, contain the points where overlapping start starts and stop
std::vector<V> intersect(const LineSegment& la, const LineSegment& lb)
{
    std::vector<V> r;

    //http://stackoverflow.com/questions/563198/how-do-you-detect-where-two-line-segments-intersect
    V oa, ob, da, db; //Origin and direction vectors
    R sa, sb; //Scalar values
    oa = la.pa;
    da = la.pb - la.pa;
    ob = lb.pa;
    db = lb.pb - lb.pa;

    if (da.cross(db) == 0 && (ob - oa).cross(da) == 0) //If colinear
    {
        if (on_segment(lb.pa, la) && on_segment(lb.pb, la))
        {
            r.push_back(lb.pa);
            r.push_back(lb.pb);
            dprintf("colinear, overlapping\n");
            return r;
        }

        if (on_segment(la.pa, lb) && on_segment(la.pb, lb))
        {
            r.push_back(la.pa);
            r.push_back(la.pb);
            dprintf("colinear, overlapping\n");
            return r;
        }

        if (on_segment(la.pa, lb))
            r.push_back(la.pa);

        if (on_segment(la.pb, lb))
            r.push_back(la.pb);

        if (on_segment(lb.pa, la))
            r.push_back(lb.pa);

        if (on_segment(lb.pb, la))
            r.push_back(lb.pb);

        if (r.size() == 0)
            dprintf("colinear, non-overlapping\n");
        else
            dprintf("colinear, overlapping\n");

        return r;
    }

    if (da.cross(db) == 0 && (ob - oa).cross(da) != 0)
    {
        dprintf("parallel non-intersecting\n");
        return r;
    }

    //Math trick db cross db == 0, which is a single scalar in 2D.
    //Crossing both sides with vector db gives:
    sa = (ob - oa).cross(db) / da.cross(db);

    //Crossing both sides with vector da gives
    sb = (oa - ob).cross(da) / db.cross(da);

    if (0 <= sa && sa <= 1 && 0 <= sb && sb <= 1)
    {
        dprintf("intersecting\n");
        r.push_back(oa + da * sa);
        return r;
    }

    dprintf("non-intersecting, non-parallel, non-colinear, non-overlapping\n");
    return r;
}

如果矩形的每条边都是一条线段，并且用户绘制的部分也是一条线段，那么您只需检查用户绘制的线段是否与四条边线段相交。这应该是一个相当简单的练习，给定每个段的起点和终点。

以下是对加文回答的改进。马普的解决方案也类似，但都没有推迟分割。

这实际上也是Gareth Rees的答案的一个实际应用，因为向量积在2D中的等价是补点积，这段代码用了其中的三个。切换到3D并使用叉积，在最后插入s和t，结果是3D中直线之间的两个最近点。 不管怎样，2D解:

int get_line_intersection(float p0_x, float p0_y, float p1_x, float p1_y, 
    float p2_x, float p2_y, float p3_x, float p3_y, float *i_x, float *i_y)
{
    float s02_x, s02_y, s10_x, s10_y, s32_x, s32_y, s_numer, t_numer, denom, t;
    s10_x = p1_x - p0_x;
    s10_y = p1_y - p0_y;
    s32_x = p3_x - p2_x;
    s32_y = p3_y - p2_y;

    denom = s10_x * s32_y - s32_x * s10_y;
    if (denom == 0)
        return 0; // Collinear
    bool denomPositive = denom > 0;

    s02_x = p0_x - p2_x;
    s02_y = p0_y - p2_y;
    s_numer = s10_x * s02_y - s10_y * s02_x;
    if ((s_numer < 0) == denomPositive)
        return 0; // No collision

    t_numer = s32_x * s02_y - s32_y * s02_x;
    if ((t_numer < 0) == denomPositive)
        return 0; // No collision

    if (((s_numer > denom) == denomPositive) || ((t_numer > denom) == denomPositive))
        return 0; // No collision
    // Collision detected
    t = t_numer / denom;
    if (i_x != NULL)
        *i_x = p0_x + (t * s10_x);
    if (i_y != NULL)
        *i_y = p0_y + (t * s10_y);

    return 1;
}

基本上，它将除法延迟到最后一刻，并将大多数测试移动到某些计算完成之前，从而增加了早期退出。最后，它还避免了直线平行时的除零情况。

您可能还想考虑使用ε检验，而不是与零比较。非常接近平行的线会产生稍微偏离的结果。这不是一个bug，这是浮点数学的一个限制。

一个c++程序，用于检查两条给定线段是否相交

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

struct Point
{
    int x;
    int y;
};

// Given three colinear points p, q, r, the function checks if
// point q lies on line segment 'pr'
bool onSegment(Point p, Point q, Point r)
{
    if (q.x <= max(p.x, r.x) && q.x >= min(p.x, r.x) &&
        q.y <= max(p.y, r.y) && q.y >= min(p.y, r.y))
       return true;

    return false;
}

// To find orientation of ordered triplet (p, q, r).
// The function returns following values
// 0 --> p, q and r are colinear
// 1 --> Clockwise
// 2 --> Counterclockwise
int orientation(Point p, Point q, Point r)
{
    // See 10th slides from following link for derivation of the formula
    // http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/~pat/52233/slides/Geometry1x1.pdf
    int val = (q.y - p.y) * (r.x - q.x) -
              (q.x - p.x) * (r.y - q.y);

    if (val == 0) return 0;  // colinear

    return (val > 0)? 1: 2; // clock or counterclock wise
}

// The main function that returns true if line segment 'p1q1'
// and 'p2q2' intersect.
bool doIntersect(Point p1, Point q1, Point p2, Point q2)
{
    // Find the four orientations needed for general and
    // special cases
    int o1 = orientation(p1, q1, p2);
    int o2 = orientation(p1, q1, q2);
    int o3 = orientation(p2, q2, p1);
    int o4 = orientation(p2, q2, q1);

    // General case
    if (o1 != o2 && o3 != o4)
        return true;

    // Special Cases
    // p1, q1 and p2 are colinear and p2 lies on segment p1q1
    if (o1 == 0 && onSegment(p1, p2, q1)) return true;

    // p1, q1 and p2 are colinear and q2 lies on segment p1q1
    if (o2 == 0 && onSegment(p1, q2, q1)) return true;

    // p2, q2 and p1 are colinear and p1 lies on segment p2q2
    if (o3 == 0 && onSegment(p2, p1, q2)) return true;

     // p2, q2 and q1 are colinear and q1 lies on segment p2q2
    if (o4 == 0 && onSegment(p2, q1, q2)) return true;

    return false; // Doesn't fall in any of the above cases
}

// Driver program to test above functions
int main()
{
    struct Point p1 = {1, 1}, q1 = {10, 1};
    struct Point p2 = {1, 2}, q2 = {10, 2};

    doIntersect(p1, q1, p2, q2)? cout << "Yes\n": cout << "No\n";

    p1 = {10, 0}, q1 = {0, 10};
    p2 = {0, 0}, q2 = {10, 10};
    doIntersect(p1, q1, p2, q2)? cout << "Yes\n": cout << "No\n";

    p1 = {-5, -5}, q1 = {0, 0};
    p2 = {1, 1}, q2 = {10, 10};
    doIntersect(p1, q1, p2, q2)? cout << "Yes\n": cout << "No\n";

    return 0;
}

只是想提一下，一个很好的解释和明确的解决方案可以在数字食谱系列中找到。我有这本书的第三版，答案在1117页21.4节。另一种不同命名的解决方案可以在玛丽娜·加夫里洛娃(Marina Gavrilova)的论文中找到。在我看来，她的解决办法要简单一些。

我的实现如下:

bool NuGeometry::IsBetween(const double& x0, const double& x, const double& x1){
   return (x >= x0) && (x <= x1);
}

bool NuGeometry::FindIntersection(const double& x0, const double& y0, 
     const double& x1, const double& y1,
     const double& a0, const double& b0, 
     const double& a1, const double& b1, 
     double& xy, double& ab) {
   // four endpoints are x0, y0 & x1,y1 & a0,b0 & a1,b1
   // returned values xy and ab are the fractional distance along xy and ab
   // and are only defined when the result is true

   bool partial = false;
   double denom = (b0 - b1) * (x0 - x1) - (y0 - y1) * (a0 - a1);
   if (denom == 0) {
      xy = -1;
      ab = -1;
   } else {
      xy = (a0 * (y1 - b1) + a1 * (b0 - y1) + x1 * (b1 - b0)) / denom;
      partial = NuGeometry::IsBetween(0, xy, 1);
      if (partial) {
         // no point calculating this unless xy is between 0 & 1
         ab = (y1 * (x0 - a1) + b1 * (x1 - x0) + y0 * (a1 - x1)) / denom; 
      }
   }
   if ( partial && NuGeometry::IsBetween(0, ab, 1)) {
      ab = 1-ab;
      xy = 1-xy;
      return true;
   }  else return false;
}
