Distanza più breve tra un punto e un segmento di linea

Ho bisogno di una funzione di base per trovare la distanza più breve tra un punto e un segmento di linea. Sentiti libero di scrivere la soluzione in qualsiasi lingua tu voglia; Posso tradurlo in quello che sto usando (Javascript).

EDIT: il mio segmento di linea è definito da due endpoint. Quindi il mio segmento di linea ABè definito dai due punti A (x1,y1)e B (x2,y2). Sto cercando di trovare la distanza tra questo segmento di linea e un punto C (x3,y3). Le mie abilità geometriche sono arrugginite, quindi gli esempi che ho visto sono confusi, mi dispiace ammetterlo.

Eli, il codice che hai stabilito non è corretto. Un punto vicino alla linea su cui giace il segmento ma lontano da un'estremità del segmento verrebbe erroneamente valutato vicino al segmento. Aggiornamento: la risposta errata menzionata non è più quella accettata.

Ecco un po 'di codice corretto, in C ++. Presume un vettore 2D di classe class vec2 {float x,y;}, essenzialmente, con operatori che aggiungono, sottrai, ridimensionano, ecc. E una funzione di prodotto distanza e punto (es x1 x2 + y1 y2.).

float minimum_distance(vec2 v, vec2 w, vec2 p) {
  // Return minimum distance between line segment vw and point p
  const float l2 = length_squared(v, w);  // i.e. |w-v|^2 -  avoid a sqrt
  if (l2 == 0.0) return distance(p, v);   // v == w case
  // Consider the line extending the segment, parameterized as v + t (w - v).
  // We find projection of point p onto the line. 
  // It falls where t = [(p-v) . (w-v)] / |w-v|^2
  // We clamp t from [0,1] to handle points outside the segment vw.
  const float t = max(0, min(1, dot(p - v, w - v) / l2));
  const vec2 projection = v + t * (w - v);  // Projection falls on the segment
  return distance(p, projection);
}

EDIT: avevo bisogno di un'implementazione Javascript, quindi eccola qui, senza dipendenze (o commenti, ma è una porta diretta di quanto sopra). I punti sono rappresentati come oggetti con xe yattributi.

function sqr(x) { return x * x }
function dist2(v, w) { return sqr(v.x - w.x) + sqr(v.y - w.y) }
function distToSegmentSquared(p, v, w) {
  var l2 = dist2(v, w);
  if (l2 == 0) return dist2(p, v);
  var t = ((p.x - v.x) * (w.x - v.x) + (p.y - v.y) * (w.y - v.y)) / l2;
  t = Math.max(0, Math.min(1, t));
  return dist2(p, { x: v.x + t * (w.x - v.x),
                    y: v.y + t * (w.y - v.y) });
}
function distToSegment(p, v, w) { return Math.sqrt(distToSegmentSquared(p, v, w)); }

EDIT 2: avevo bisogno di una versione Java, ma più importante, ne avevo bisogno in 3d anziché in 2d.

float dist_to_segment_squared(float px, float py, float pz, float lx1, float ly1, float lz1, float lx2, float ly2, float lz2) {
  float line_dist = dist_sq(lx1, ly1, lz1, lx2, ly2, lz2);
  if (line_dist == 0) return dist_sq(px, py, pz, lx1, ly1, lz1);
  float t = ((px - lx1) * (lx2 - lx1) + (py - ly1) * (ly2 - ly1) + (pz - lz1) * (lz2 - lz1)) / line_dist;
  t = constrain(t, 0, 1);
  return dist_sq(px, py, pz, lx1 + t * (lx2 - lx1), ly1 + t * (ly2 - ly1), lz1 + t * (lz2 - lz1));
}

Ecco il codice completo più semplice in Javascript.

x, y è il punto target e x1, y1 a x2, y2 è il segmento di linea.

AGGIORNATO: risolto il problema relativo alla linea di lunghezza 0 dai commenti.

function pDistance(x, y, x1, y1, x2, y2) {

  var A = x - x1;
  var B = y - y1;
  var C = x2 - x1;
  var D = y2 - y1;

  var dot = A * C + B * D;
  var len_sq = C * C + D * D;
  var param = -1;
  if (len_sq != 0) //in case of 0 length line
      param = dot / len_sq;

  var xx, yy;

  if (param < 0) {
    xx = x1;
    yy = y1;
  }
  else if (param > 1) {
    xx = x2;
    yy = y2;
  }
  else {
    xx = x1 + param * C;
    yy = y1 + param * D;
  }

  var dx = x - xx;
  var dy = y - yy;
  return Math.sqrt(dx * dx + dy * dy);
}

Questa è un'implementazione fatta per FINITE LINE SEGMENTS, non linee infinite come la maggior parte delle altre funzioni qui sembrano (ecco perché l'ho fatto).

Pitone:

def dist(x1, y1, x2, y2, x3, y3): # x3,y3 is the point
    px = x2-x1
    py = y2-y1

    norm = px*px + py*py

    u =  ((x3 - x1) * px + (y3 - y1) * py) / float(norm)

    if u > 1:
        u = 1
    elif u < 0:
        u = 0

    x = x1 + u * px
    y = y1 + u * py

    dx = x - x3
    dy = y - y3

    # Note: If the actual distance does not matter,
    # if you only want to compare what this function
    # returns to other results of this function, you
    # can just return the squared distance instead
    # (i.e. remove the sqrt) to gain a little performance

    dist = (dx*dx + dy*dy)**.5

    return dist

Nel mio thread di domande come calcolare la distanza 2D più breve tra un punto e un segmento di linea in tutti i casi in C, C # / .NET 2.0 o Java? Mi è stato chiesto di inserire qui una risposta C # quando ne trovo una: così eccola, modificata da http://www.topcoder.com/tc?d1=tutorials&d2=geometry1&module=Static :

//Compute the dot product AB . BC
private double DotProduct(double[] pointA, double[] pointB, double[] pointC)
{
    double[] AB = new double[2];
    double[] BC = new double[2];
    AB[0] = pointB[0] - pointA[0];
    AB[1] = pointB[1] - pointA[1];
    BC[0] = pointC[0] - pointB[0];
    BC[1] = pointC[1] - pointB[1];
    double dot = AB[0] * BC[0] + AB[1] * BC[1];

    return dot;
}

//Compute the cross product AB x AC
private double CrossProduct(double[] pointA, double[] pointB, double[] pointC)
{
    double[] AB = new double[2];
    double[] AC = new double[2];
    AB[0] = pointB[0] - pointA[0];
    AB[1] = pointB[1] - pointA[1];
    AC[0] = pointC[0] - pointA[0];
    AC[1] = pointC[1] - pointA[1];
    double cross = AB[0] * AC[1] - AB[1] * AC[0];

    return cross;
}

//Compute the distance from A to B
double Distance(double[] pointA, double[] pointB)
{
    double d1 = pointA[0] - pointB[0];
    double d2 = pointA[1] - pointB[1];

    return Math.Sqrt(d1 * d1 + d2 * d2);
}

//Compute the distance from AB to C
//if isSegment is true, AB is a segment, not a line.
double LineToPointDistance2D(double[] pointA, double[] pointB, double[] pointC, 
    bool isSegment)
{
    double dist = CrossProduct(pointA, pointB, pointC) / Distance(pointA, pointB);
    if (isSegment)
    {
        double dot1 = DotProduct(pointA, pointB, pointC);
        if (dot1 > 0) 
            return Distance(pointB, pointC);

        double dot2 = DotProduct(pointB, pointA, pointC);
        if (dot2 > 0) 
            return Distance(pointA, pointC);

Sto @SO non per rispondere ma fare domande, quindi spero di non ottenere milioni di voti negativi per alcune ragioni, ma per costruire critiche. Volevo solo (ed ero incoraggiato) a condividere le idee di qualcun altro poiché le soluzioni in questo thread sono o con un linguaggio esotico (Fortran, Mathematica) o contrassegnate come difettose da qualcuno. L'unico utile (di Grumdrig) per me è scritto con C ++ e nessuno lo ha etichettato come difettoso. Ma mancano i metodi (punto ecc.) Che vengono chiamati.

In F #, la distanza dal punto cal segmento di linea tra ae bè data da:

let pointToLineSegmentDistance (a: Vector, b: Vector) (c: Vector) =
  let d = b - a
  let s = d.Length
  let lambda = (c - a) * d / s
  let p = (lambda |> max 0.0 |> min s) * d / s
  (a + p - c).Length

Il vettore dpunta da aa blungo il segmento di linea. Il prodotto punto di d/scon c-afornisce il parametro del punto di approccio più vicino tra la linea infinita e il punto c. La funzione mine maxviene utilizzata per bloccare questo parametro nell'intervallo in 0..smodo che il punto si trovi tra ae b. Infine, la lunghezza di a+p-cè la distanza dal cpunto più vicino sul segmento di linea.

Esempio di utilizzo:

pointToLineSegmentDistance (Vector(0.0, 0.0), Vector(1.0, 0.0)) (Vector(-1.0, 1.0))

Per chiunque sia interessato, ecco una banale conversione del codice Javascript di Joshua in Objective-C:

- (double)distanceToPoint:(CGPoint)p fromLineSegmentBetween:(CGPoint)l1 and:(CGPoint)l2
{
    double A = p.x - l1.x;
    double B = p.y - l1.y;
    double C = l2.x - l1.x;
    double D = l2.y - l1.y;

    double dot = A * C + B * D;
    double len_sq = C * C + D * D;
    double param = dot / len_sq;

    double xx, yy;

    if (param < 0 || (l1.x == l2.x && l1.y == l2.y)) {
        xx = l1.x;
        yy = l1.y;
    }
    else if (param > 1) {
        xx = l2.x;
        yy = l2.y;
    }
    else {
        xx = l1.x + param * C;
        yy = l1.y + param * D;
    }

    double dx = p.x - xx;
    double dy = p.y - yy;

    return sqrtf(dx * dx + dy * dy);
}

Avevo bisogno di questa soluzione con MKMapPointcui lavorare, quindi la condividerò nel caso in cui qualcun altro ne abbia bisogno. Solo qualche piccola modifica e questo restituirà la distanza in metri:

- (double)distanceToPoint:(MKMapPoint)p fromLineSegmentBetween:(MKMapPoint)l1 and:(MKMapPoint)l2
{
    double A = p.x - l1.x;
    double B = p.y - l1.y;
    double C = l2.x - l1.x;
    double D = l2.y - l1.y;

    double dot = A * C + B * D;
    double len_sq = C * C + D * D;
    double param = dot / len_sq;

    double xx, yy;

    if (param < 0 || (l1.x == l2.x && l1.y == l2.y)) {
        xx = l1.x;
        yy = l1.y;
    }
    else if (param > 1) {
        xx = l2.x;
        yy = l2.y;
    }
    else {
        xx = l1.x + param * C;
        yy = l1.y + param * D;
    }

    return MKMetersBetweenMapPoints(p, MKMapPointMake(xx, yy));
}

In Mathematica

Utilizza una descrizione parametrica del segmento e proietta il punto nella linea definita dal segmento. Dato che il parametro passa da 0 a 1 nel segmento, se la proiezione è al di fuori di questi limiti, calcoliamo la distanza dall'enpoint corrispondente, anziché la linea retta normale al segmento.

Clear["Global`*"];
 distance[{start_, end_}, pt_] := 
   Module[{param},
   param = ((pt - start).(end - start))/Norm[end - start]^2; (*parameter. the "."
                                                       here means vector product*)

   Which[
    param < 0, EuclideanDistance[start, pt],                 (*If outside bounds*)
    param > 1, EuclideanDistance[end, pt],
    True, EuclideanDistance[pt, start + param (end - start)] (*Normal distance*)
    ]

Trama di contorno:

Ehi, l'ho appena scritto ieri. È in Actionscript 3.0, che è sostanzialmente Javascript, anche se potresti non avere la stessa classe Point.

//st = start of line segment
//b = the line segment (as in: st + b = end of line segment)
//pt = point to test
//Returns distance from point to line segment.  
//Note: nearest point on the segment to the test point is right there if we ever need it
public static function linePointDist( st:Point, b:Point, pt:Point ):Number
{
    var nearestPt:Point; //closest point on seqment to pt

    var keyDot:Number = dot( b, pt.subtract( st ) ); //key dot product
    var bLenSq:Number = dot( b, b ); //Segment length squared

    if( keyDot <= 0 )  //pt is "behind" st, use st
    {
        nearestPt = st  
    }
    else if( keyDot >= bLenSq ) //pt is "past" end of segment, use end (notice we are saving twin sqrts here cuz)
    {
        nearestPt = st.add(b);
    }
    else //pt is inside segment, reuse keyDot and bLenSq to get percent of seqment to move in to find closest point
    {
        var keyDotToPctOfB:Number = keyDot/bLenSq; //REM dot product comes squared
        var partOfB:Point = new Point( b.x * keyDotToPctOfB, b.y * keyDotToPctOfB );
        nearestPt = st.add(partOfB);
    }

    var dist:Number = (pt.subtract(nearestPt)).length;

    return dist;
}

Inoltre, c'è una discussione abbastanza completa e leggibile del problema qui: notejot.com

Per i più pigri, ecco la mia porta Objective-C della soluzione di @ Grumdrig sopra:

CGFloat sqr(CGFloat x) { return x*x; }
CGFloat dist2(CGPoint v, CGPoint w) { return sqr(v.x - w.x) + sqr(v.y - w.y); }
CGFloat distanceToSegmentSquared(CGPoint p, CGPoint v, CGPoint w)
{
    CGFloat l2 = dist2(v, w);
    if (l2 == 0.0f) return dist2(p, v);

    CGFloat t = ((p.x - v.x) * (w.x - v.x) + (p.y - v.y) * (w.y - v.y)) / l2;
    if (t < 0.0f) return dist2(p, v);
    if (t > 1.0f) return dist2(p, w);
    return dist2(p, CGPointMake(v.x + t * (w.x - v.x), v.y + t * (w.y - v.y)));
}
CGFloat distanceToSegment(CGPoint point, CGPoint segmentPointV, CGPoint segmentPointW)
{
    return sqrtf(distanceToSegmentSquared(point, segmentPointV, segmentPointW));
}

def pdis(a, b, c):
    t = b[0]-a[0], b[1]-a[1]           # Vector ab
    dd = sqrt(t[0]**2+t[1]**2)         # Length of ab

Soluzione a una linea che utilizza arctangents:

L'idea è di spostare da A a (0, 0) e ruotare il triangolo in senso orario per far posare C sull'asse X, quando ciò accade, By sarà la distanza.

1. un angolo = Atan (Cy - Ay, Cx - Ax);
2. b angle = Atan (By - Ay, Bx - Ax);
3. Lunghezza AB = Sqrt ((Bx - Ax) ^ 2 + (By - Ay) ^ 2)
4. By = Sin (bAngle - aAngle) * ABLength

Considera questa modifica alla risposta di Grumdrig sopra. Molte volte scoprirai che l'imprecisione in virgola mobile può causare problemi. Sto usando i doppi nella versione seguente, ma puoi facilmente passare ai float. La parte importante è che utilizza un epsilon per gestire lo "slop". Inoltre, molte volte vorrai sapere DOVE è avvenuta l'intersezione o se è avvenuta affatto. Se la t restituita è <0,0 o> 1,0, non si è verificata alcuna collisione. Tuttavia, anche se non si è verificata alcuna collisione, molte volte vorrai sapere dove si trova il punto più vicino sul segmento a P, e quindi uso qx e qy per restituire questa posizione.

Presumo che tu voglia trovare il più cortodistanza tra il punto e un segmento di linea; per fare ciò, è necessario trovare la linea (linea A) che è perpendicolare al segmento di linea (linea B) che attraversa il punto, determinare l'intersezione tra quella linea (linea A) e la linea che attraversa il segmento di linea (linea B) ; se quel punto si trova tra i due punti del segmento di linea, allora la distanza è la distanza tra il punto e il punto appena trovato che è l'intersezione della linea A e della linea B; se il punto non è tra i due punti del segmento di linea, è necessario ottenere la distanza tra il punto e la più vicina delle due estremità del segmento di linea; questo può essere fatto facilmente prendendo la distanza quadrata (per evitare una radice quadrata) tra il punto e i due punti del segmento di linea; qualunque sia il più vicino, prendi la radice quadrata di quello.

L'implementazione C ++ / JavaScript di Grumdrig mi è stata molto utile, quindi ho fornito una porta diretta Python che sto usando. Il codice completo è qui .

class Point(object):
  def __init__(self, x, y):
    self.x = float(x)
    self.y = float(y)

def square(x):
  return x * x

def distance_squared(v, w):
  return square(v.x - w.x) + square(v.y - w.y)

def distance_point_segment_squared(p, v, w):
  # Segment length squared, |w-v|^2
  d2 = distance_squared(v, w) 
  if d2 == 0: 
    # v == w, return distance to v
    return distance_squared(p, v)
  # Consider the line extending the segment, parameterized as v + t (w - v).
  # We find projection of point p onto the line.
  # It falls where t = [(p-v) . (w-v)] / |w-v|^2
  t = ((p.x - v.x) * (w.x - v.x) + (p.y - v.y) * (w.y - v.y)) / d2;
  if t < 0:
    # Beyond v end of the segment
    return distance_squared(p, v)
  elif t > 1.0:
    # Beyond w end of the segment
    return distance_squared(p, w)
  else:
    # Projection falls on the segment.
    proj = Point(v.x + t * (w.x - v.x), v.y + t * (w.y - v.y))
    # print proj.x, proj.y
    return distance_squared(p, proj)

È molto veloce perché provo ad evitare qualsiasi funzione Math.pow.

Come puoi vedere, alla fine della funzione ho la distanza della linea.

Come puoi vedere, ho provato a misurare la differenza tra l'utilizzo della versione che evita il metodo Sqrt () e la versione normale. I miei test indicano che potresti risparmiare circa il 2,5%, ma non ne sono nemmeno sicuro - le variazioni all'interno delle varie esecuzioni dei test erano dello stesso ordine di grandezza. Ho anche provato a misurare la versione pubblicata da Matti (più un'ovvia ottimizzazione), e quella versione sembra essere circa il 4% più lenta della versione basata sul codice Katz / Grumdrig.

Modifica: Per inciso, ho anche provato a misurare un metodo che trova la distanza da una linea infinita (non un segmento di linea) usando un prodotto incrociato (e un Sqrt ()), ed è circa il 32% più veloce.

Ecco la versione C ++ di devnullicus convertita in C #. Per la mia implementazione avevo bisogno di conoscere il punto di intersezione e ho trovato che la sua soluzione funzionava bene.

Una soluzione 2D e 3D

Considera un cambiamento di base in modo che il segmento di linea diventi (0, 0, 0)-(d, 0, 0)e il punto (u, v, 0). La distanza più breve si verifica su quel piano ed è data da

    u ≤ 0 -> d(A, C)
0 ≤ u ≤ d -> |v|
d ≤ u     -> d(B, C)

(la distanza da uno dei punti finali o dalla linea di supporto, a seconda della sporgenza della linea. Il locus iso-distanza è composto da due semicerchi e due segmenti di linea.)

Nell'espressione precedente, d è la lunghezza del segmento AB e u, v sono rispettivamente il prodotto scalare e (modulo del) prodotto incrociato di AB / d (vettore unitario nella direzione di AB) e AC. Quindi vettoriali,

AB.AC ≤ 0             -> |AC|
    0 ≤ AB.AC ≤ AB²   -> |ABxAC|/|AB|
          AB² ≤ AB.AC -> |BC|

vedere la casella degli strumenti Matlab GEOMETRY nel seguente sito Web: http://people.sc.fsu.edu/~jburkardt/m_src/geometry/geometry.html

ctrl + f e digita "segmento" per trovare le funzioni relative al segmento di linea. le funzioni "segment_point_dist_2d.m" e "segment_point_dist_3d.m" sono ciò di cui hai bisogno.

I codici GEOMETRY sono disponibili in una versione C e una versione C ++ e una versione FORTRAN77 e una versione FORTRAN90 e una versione MATLAB.

Versione AutoHotkeys basata sul Javascript di Joshua:

plDist(x, y, x1, y1, x2, y2) {
    A:= x - x1
    B:= y - y1
    C:= x2 - x1
    D:= y2 - y1

    dot:= A*C + B*D
    sqLen:= C*C + D*D
    param:= dot / sqLen

    if (param < 0 || ((x1 = x2) && (y1 = y2))) {
        xx:= x1
        yy:= y1
    } else if (param > 1) {
        xx:= x2
        yy:= y2
    } else {
        xx:= x1 + param*C
        yy:= y1 + param*D
    }

    dx:= x - xx
    dy:= y - yy

    return sqrt(dx*dx + dy*dy)
}

Non ho visto un'implementazione Java qui, quindi ho tradotto la funzione Javascript dalla risposta accettata al codice Java:

static double sqr(double x) {
    return x * x;
}
static double dist2(DoublePoint v, DoublePoint w) {
    return sqr(v.x - w.x) + sqr(v.y - w.y);
}
static double distToSegmentSquared(DoublePoint p, DoublePoint v, DoublePoint w) {
    double l2 = dist2(v, w);
    if (l2 == 0) return dist2(p, v);
    double t = ((p.x - v.x) * (w.x - v.x) + (p.y - v.y) * (w.y - v.y)) / l2;
    if (t < 0) return dist2(p, v);
    if (t > 1) return dist2(p, w);
    return dist2(p, new DoublePoint(
            v.x + t * (w.x - v.x),
            v.y + t * (w.y - v.y)
    ));
}
static double distToSegment(DoublePoint p, DoublePoint v, DoublePoint w) {
    return Math.sqrt(distToSegmentSquared(p, v, w));
}
static class DoublePoint {
    public double x;
    public double y;

    public DoublePoint(double x, double y) {
        this.x = x;
        this.y = y;
    }
}

Versione WPF:

public class LineSegment
{
    private readonly Vector _offset;
    private readonly Vector _vector;

    public LineSegment(Point start, Point end)
    {
        _offset = (Vector)start;
        _vector = (Vector)(end - _offset);
    }

    public double DistanceTo(Point pt)
    {
        var v = (Vector)pt - _offset;

        // first, find a projection point on the segment in parametric form (0..1)
        var p = (v * _vector) / _vector.LengthSquared;

        // and limit it so it lays inside the segment
        p = Math.Min(Math.Max(p, 0), 1);

        // now, find the distance from that point to our point
        return (_vector * p - v).Length;
    }
}

Ecco il codice che ho finito per scrivere. Questo codice presuppone che un punto sia definito sotto forma di {x:5, y:7}. Nota che questo non è il modo più efficace in assoluto, ma è il codice più semplice e più facile da capire che potrei trovare.

// a, b, and c in the code below are all points

function distance(a, b)
{
    var dx = a.x - b.x;
    var dy = a.y - b.y;
    return Math.sqrt(dx*dx + dy*dy);
}

function Segment(a, b)
{
    var ab = {
        x: b.x - a.x,
        y: b.y - a.y
    };
    var length = distance(a, b);

    function cross(c) {
        return ab.x * (c.y-a.y) - ab.y * (c.x-a.x);
    };

    this.distanceFrom = function(c) {
        return Math.min(distance(a,c),
                        distance(b,c),
                        Math.abs(cross(c) / length));
    };
}

La funzione sopra non funziona su linee verticali. Ecco una funzione che funziona bene! Linea con i punti p1, p2. e CheckPoint è p;

public float DistanceOfPointToLine2(PointF p1, PointF p2, PointF p)
{
  //          (y1-y2)x + (x2-x1)y + (x1y2-x2y1)
  //d(P,L) = --------------------------------
  //         sqrt( (x2-x1)pow2 + (y2-y1)pow2 )

  double ch = (p1.Y - p2.Y) * p.X + (p2.X - p1.X) * p.Y + (p1.X * p2.Y - p2.X * p1.Y);
  double del = Math.Sqrt(Math.Pow(p2.X - p1.X, 2) + Math.Pow(p2.Y - p1.Y, 2));
  double d = ch / del;
  return (float)d;
}

Qui è la stessa cosa della risposta C ++ ma trasferita su pascal. L'ordine del parametro point è stato modificato per adattarsi al mio codice ma è la stessa cosa.

function Dot(const p1, p2: PointF): double;
begin
  Result := p1.x * p2.x + p1.y * p2.y;
end;
function SubPoint(const p1, p2: PointF): PointF;
begin
  result.x := p1.x - p2.x;
  result.y := p1.y - p2.y;
end;

function ShortestDistance2(const p,v,w : PointF) : double;
var
  l2,t : double;
  projection,tt: PointF;
begin
  // Return minimum distance between line segment vw and point p
  //l2 := length_squared(v, w);  // i.e. |w-v|^2 -  avoid a sqrt
  l2 := Distance(v,w);
  l2 := MPower(l2,2);
  if (l2 = 0.0) then begin
    result:= Distance(p, v);   // v == w case
    exit;
  end;
  // Consider the line extending the segment, parameterized as v + t (w - v).
  // We find projection of point p onto the line.
  // It falls where t = [(p-v) . (w-v)] / |w-v|^2
  t := Dot(SubPoint(p,v),SubPoint(w,v)) / l2;
  if (t < 0.0) then begin
    result := Distance(p, v);       // Beyond the 'v' end of the segment
    exit;
  end
  else if (t > 1.0) then begin
    result := Distance(p, w);  // Beyond the 'w' end of the segment
    exit;
  end;
  //projection := v + t * (w - v);  // Projection falls on the segment
  tt.x := v.x + t * (w.x - v.x);
  tt.y := v.y + t * (w.y - v.y);
  result := Distance(p, tt);
end;
