Compute average distance from point to line segment and line segment to line segment
- by Fred
Hi everyone,
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…
