计算点到线段以及线段到线段的平均距离
我正在寻找一种算法来计算 3D 中点和线段之间的平均距离。因此,给定表示线段 AB 的两个点 A(x1, y1, z1) 和 B(x2, y2, z2) 以及第三个点 C(x3, y3, z3),AB 上每个点之间的平均距离是多少到C点?
我也对两条线段之间的平均距离感兴趣。那么给定线段AB和CD,AB上每个点到CD上最近点的平均距离是多少?
我尝试过的网络搜索没有任何运气,因此任何建议将不胜感激。
谢谢。
I'm searching for an algorithm to calculate the average distance between a point and a line segment in 3D. So given two points A(x1, y1, z1) and B(x2, y2, z2) that represent line segment AB, and a third point C(x3, y3, z3), what is the average distance between each point on AB to point C?
I'm also interested in the average distance between two line segments. So given segment AB and CD, what is the average distance from each point on AB to the closest point on CD?
I haven't had any luck with the web searches I've tried, so any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

首先,两点之间的距离是坐标两两差的平方和的平方根。
(例如,从 (0,0,0) 到 (1,1,1) 的距离为 sqrt(3),但这适用于任意维数的任意点。)
该距离称为 l2-norm(小写 L)或欧几里得范数。
写出 A 点和 B 点之间的距离的范数(A,B)。
关于平均距离的有趣问题......
(请注意,找到从点到线或线段之间的最小距离是一个更常见的问题。这里有一个答案,为该问题提供了很好的指导,但似乎它已在)
要求从点 C 到线段 AB 的平均距离,请考虑到 A 和 B 之间任意点的距离,即 (1-k)A+kB,其中 k 的范围为 0 到 1。
这就是范数(C, (1-k)A+kB)。
所以平均距离是norm(C, (1-k)A+kB)从k = 0到1的积分。
Mathematica 可以对任何特定的 A、B 和 C 进行积分。
这是 Mathematica 的实现:
被积函数也可以写成
Norm[(1-k)*A+k*BC]
。无论哪种方式,Mathematica 都可以针对特定点做到这一点,但无法象征性地整合它,尽管显然 David 以某种方式做到了这一点。这是来自评论的 David 的例子:
对于两条线段之间的平均距离问题,理论上我认为这应该可行:
但是即使对于特定的点,Mathematica 似乎也会对此感到窒息,更不用说象征性的了。
First, the distance between two points is the square root of the sum of the squares of the pairwise differences of the coordinates.
(For example, the distance from (0,0,0) to (1,1,1) is sqrt(3) but this works for arbitrary points in any number of dimensions.)
This distance is known as the l2-norm (lower-case L) or Euclidean norm.
Write norm(A,B) for the distance between points A and B.
On to the interesting problem of average distances...
(Note that finding the minimum distance from a point to a line or between line segments is a much more common problem. There was an answer here with good pointers for that problem but it seems it was deleted in the meantime.)
To find the average distance from a point C to a line segment AB, consider the distance to an arbitrary point between A and B, namely (1-k)A+kB where k ranges from 0 to 1.
That's norm(C, (1-k)A+kB).
So the average distance is the integral from k = 0 to 1 of norm(C, (1-k)A+kB).
Mathematica can do that integral for any specific A, B, and C.
Here's a Mathematica implementation:
The integrand can also be written
Norm[(1-k)*A+k*B-C]
. Either way, Mathematica can do it for specific points but can't integrate it symbolically, though apparently David got it to do so somehow.Here's David's example from the comments:
For the problem of the average distance between two line segments, in theory I think this should work:
But Mathematica seems to choke on that even for specific points, let alone symbolically.
如果您的意思是我认为您所说的“平均”(和“距离”,即 dreeves 提到的 L2 范数),那么我认为以下过程应该适用于查找点之间的平均距离和一个线段。您需要一个函数
dot(A,B)
,它获取两个向量的点积。假设我已正确转录所有内容,则
D
将是平均距离。这基本上只是用于评估我在 Mathematica 中进行的积分结果的伪代码。可能有一些简洁的计算捷径,但如果有的话,我不知道。 (除非有一个,否则我会质疑你真正需要多少来进行此计算)
如果你想找到从线段 CD 上最近的点到 AB 上所有点的平均距离,在大多数情况下是最近的点将是 C 或 D,因此您可以检查这两个值以查看哪个更接近(可能使用其他答案中引用的一些最小距离计算)。唯一的例外是当 CD 和 AB 平行时,您可以从一个到另一个垂直,在这种情况下,您必须更精确地定义您的要求。
如果你想求 CD 上所有点和 AB 上所有点之间的平均距离……可以用二重积分来完成,尽管我不禁想到结果公式会有多么复杂。
If you mean what I think you mean by "average" (and "distance," i.e. the L2 norm mentioned by dreeves), here's a procedure that I think should work for finding the average distance between a point and a line segment. You'll need a function
dot(A,B)
which takes the dot product of two vectors.Assuming I've transcribed everything correctly,
D
will then be the average distance.This is basically just pseudocode for evaluating the result of an integral that I did in Mathematica. There may be some neat computational shortcut for this but if there is, I don't know it. (And unless there is one, I'd question how much you really need to do this computation)
If you want to find the average distance from the closest point on a line segment CD to all points on AB, in most cases the closest point will be either C or D so you can just check both of those to see which is closer (probably using some minimum-distance calculation as referenced in other answers). The only exception is when CD and AB are parallel and you could run a perpendicular from one to the other, in which case you'd have to define your requirements more precisely.
If you wanted to find the average distance between all points on CD and all points on AB... it could be done with a double integral, though I shudder to think how complicated the resulting formula would be.
好吧,如果分析失败,请使用计算机并进行大量愚蠢的计算,直到您对数字有了感觉......
我也有一本 Mathematica。为了简单起见,由于三角形必须位于一个平面上,因此我在 2D 空间中进行了以下工作。为了让事情变得更加简单,我在
{0,0}
处指定了一个点,并指定了一条从{1,0}
到{0,1}< 的线段/代码>。如果有意义的话,从点到线的平均距离必须是从{0.0}到线段上任意位置可以绘制的所有线的平均长度。当然,这样的行有很多,所以我们从 10 行开始。在 Mathematica 中,这可能被计算为
0.830255
。下一步很明显,使我测量的线数更大。事实上,让我们制作一个 10.0 指数变小的平均值表(它们是负数!)。在 Mathematica 中:产生:
按照这种方法,我重新设计了 @Dave 的示例(忘记第三维):
它给出:
这与 @dreeves 所说的 @Dave 算法计算的内容不一致。
编辑:好的,所以我在这方面又浪费了一些时间。对于我首先使用的简单示例,即
{0,0}
处的点和从{0,1}
延伸到的线段>{1,0}
我在 Mathematica 中定义了一个函数(一如既往),如下所示:现在,这是可积的。 Mathematica 给出:
或者,如果您更喜欢数字,则:
这就是我之前采用的纯数值方法给出的结果。
我现在要回去工作,并让你们将其推广到由点和线段的端点定义的任意三角形。
Well, if analysis fails, reach for a computer and do a silly amount of calculation until you get a feel for the numbers ...
I too have a copy of Mathematica. To keep things simple, since a triangle must lie in a plane, I've worked the following in 2D space. To keep things extra simple, I specify a point at
{0,0}
and a line segment from{1,0}
to{0,1}
. The average distance from point to line must be, if it is meaningful, the average length of all the lines which could be drawn from {0.0} to anywhere on the line segment. Of course, there are an awful lot of such lines, so let's start with, say, 10. In Mathematica this might be computed aswhich gives
0.830255
. The next step is obvious, make the number of lines I measure larger. In fact, let's make a table of averages as the exponent of 10.0 gets smaller (they're negative !). In Mathematica:which produces:
Following this approach I re-worked @Dave's example (forget the third dimension):
which gives:
This does not agree with what @dreeves says @Dave's algorithm computes.
EDIT: OK, so I've wasted some more time on this. For the simple example I used in the first place, that is with a point at
{0,0}
and a line segment extending from{0,1}
to{1,0}
I define a function in Mathematica (as ever), like this:Now, this is integratable. Mathematica gives:
Or, if you'd rather have numbers, this:
which is what the purely numerical approach I took earlier gives.
I'm now going to get back to work, and leave it to you all to generalise this to an arbitrary triangle defined by a point and the end-points of a line segment.
