The distance algorithm for segment-box for spherical CS does not treat
correctly some cases. For example when the segment endpoints are not
inside the box but the segment intersects it (because of curvature,
segment follow a geodesic/great circle but box horizontal segment not). An
example code follows:
{{{
#include <iostream>
#include <boost/geometry.hpp>
#include <boost/geometry/geometries/point_xy.hpp>
namespace bg = boost::geometry;
template <typename point, typename CT>
void test_all_geometry_types(CT radius_multiplier)
{
bg::model::segment<point> s;
bg::model::box<point> b;
std::cout.precision(15);
{
bg::read_wkt("SEGMENT(10 9.99, 20 9.99)", s);
bg::read_wkt("BOX(10 10, 20 20)", b);
std::cout << "dist=" << bg::distance(b, s) * radius_multiplier <<
std::endl;
std::cout << "disj=" << bg::disjoint(b, s) << std::endl;
}
{
bg::read_wkt("SEGMENT(10 10, 20 10)", s);
bg::read_wkt("BOX(10 10, 20 20)", b);
std::cout << "dist=" << bg::distance(b, s) * radius_multiplier <<
std::endl;
std::cout << "disj=" << bg::disjoint(b, s) << std::endl;
}
}
int main()
{
typedef double CT;
std::cout << "Cartesian" << std::endl;
typedef bg::model::point<CT, 2, bg::cs::cartesian > cpoint;
test_all_geometry_types<cpoint>(1);
std::cout << "Spherical" << std::endl;
typedef bg::model::point<CT, 2,
bg::cs::spherical_equatorial<bg::degree> > spoint;
test_all_geometry_types<spoint>(bg::formula::mean_radius<CT>(bg::srs::spheroid<CT>()));
return 0;
}
}}}
the output in my system (i.e. gcc version 4.8.5 (Ubuntu
4.8.5-2ubuntu1~14.04.1)) is
{{{
Cartesian
dist=0.00999999999999979
disj=1
dist=0
disj=0
Spherical
dist=63710.0877141492
disj=0
dist=0
disj=0
}}}
the case where dist=63710.0877141492 and disj=0 is wrong since the objects
intersect but the distance is not 0.
