目前正与Graham's Scan一起与Convex HUll合作。我是一名学生,所以我试图自己完成它,但是我一直在筛选多个网站以找到答案。简而言之,我有我的构造函数,一个来自文件,一个是随机生成的,所以我可以创建一个点数组。下一步是实现快速排序,按极坐标角度排序。这是通过比较器类完成的。比较器类是我被卡住的地方,我们被告知使用点比较和交叉比较来进行角度的比较,但我很遗憾。

这就是全部,我只是在比较方法上经历了一些小事情才被卡住。

quickSort和分区方法非常标准,但我会添加它们,以便你们可以广泛地看待所有内容:

/**
 * Sort the array points[] in the increasing order of polar angle with respect to lowestPoint.  
 * Use quickSort.  Construct an object of the pointComparator class with lowestPoint as the 
 * argument for point comparison.  
 * 
 * Ought to be private, but is made public for testing convenience.   
 */
public void quickSort(){

    // TODO 
}


/**
 * Operates on the subarray of points[] with indices between first and last. 
 * 
 * @param first  starting index of the subarray
 * @param last   ending index of the subarray
 */
private void quickSortRec(int first, int last){

    // TODO
}


/**
 * Operates on the subarray of points[] with indices between first and last.
 * 
 * @param first
 * @param last
 * @return
 */
private int partition(int first, int last){

    // TODO 
    return 0; 
}

我知道我基本上需要在启动quicksort方法之前启动并运行Compare类,但我觉得我甚至不知道如何使用点/交叉比较,所以感觉真的很丢失

如果有人愿意帮忙,我将非常感激! 非常感谢您的光临,祝您度过愉快的夜晚。

在所有这些方法中,当你需要查看两个Point对象是否相等时,你应该使用Point的equals方法,而不是“==”:

if(p1.equals(p2)) {
    //code
}

实施比较

请注意,您的比较方法需要在其实现中使用equals(),comparePolarAngle()和compareDistance()。最后一组条件(返回1)也可以在else语句中处理。

public int compare(Point p1, Point p2) {
   if(p1.equals(p2)) {
      return 0;
   }
   else if(p1.equals(referencePoint) ||
          (!p1.equals(referencePoint) && !p2.equals(referencePoint) && comparePolarAngle(p1, p2) == -1) ||
          (!p1.equals(referencePoint) && !p2.equals(referencePoint) && comparePolarAngle(p1, p2) == 0 && compareDistance(p1, p2) == -1))
   {
      return -1;
   }
   else {
      return 1;
   }
}

实施compareDistance

这里我们需要的主要信息是如何仅使用点积来确定从referencePoint到Point对象的向量长度。首先,让我们实现一个辅助方法,它将两个Point作为输入,并将点积作为整数值返回。

private int dotProduct(Point p1, Point p2) {
   int p1X = p1.getX() - referencePoint.getX();
   int p1Y = p1.getY() - referencePoint.getY();
   int p2X = p2.getX() - referencePoint.getX();
   int p2Y = p2.getY() - referencePoint.getY();
   //compensate for a reference point other than (0, 0)

   return (p1X * p2X) + (p1Y * p2Y);  //formula for dot product
}

那么我们如何使用它来计算向量的长度?如果我们得到一个Point的点积,我们得到(x x)+(y y),这是毕达哥拉斯定理的左边(a ^ 2 + b ^ 2 = c ^ 2)。因此,如果我们调用dotProduct(p1,p1),我们将得到其向量的平方长度。现在让我们实现compareDistance。

public int compareDistance(Point p1, Point p2) {
   if(dotProduct(p1, p1) == dotProduct(p2, p2)) {
      return 0;
   }
   else if(dotProduct(p1, p1) < dotProduct(p2, p2)) {
      return -1;
   }
   else {
      return 1;
   }
}

不需要取点积的平方根,只需比较平方长度即可。另请注意,“==”可以在这里使用,因为我们比较的是整数,而不是点。

实施comparePolarAngle

与dot产品一样,让我们​​实现一个帮助方法来计算两个输入点的叉积。

private int crossProduct(Point p1, Point p2) {
   int p1X = p1.getX() - referencePoint.getX();
   int p1Y = p1.getY() - referencePoint.getY();
   int p2X = p2.getX() - referencePoint.getX();
   int p2Y = p2.getY() - referencePoint.getY();
   //compensate for a reference point other than (0, 0)

   return (p1X * p2Y) - (p2X * p1Y);  //formula for cross product
}

写出两点交叉积的结果的另一种方法是| p1 || p2 | sin(theta)其中| p1 |是p1向量的长度,| p2 |是p2矢量的长度,theta是从p1到p2的角度。

相对于参考点具有相同极角的两个点具有θ值为零。 sin(0)= 0,因此具有相同极角的两个点的叉积为零。

如果p1相对于参考点的极角小于p2的极角,则从p1到p2的角度为正。对于0&lt; theta&lt; 180,罪(theta)是正面的。因此,如果我们取p1和p2的交叉积并且它是正的,则p1的极角必须小于p2的极角。

如果p1相对于参考点的极角大于p2的极角,则从p1到p2的角度将为负。为-180&lt; theta&lt; 0,sin(theta)是负数。因此,如果我们取p1和p2的交叉积并且它是负的,则p1的极角必须大于p2的极角。

使用此信息,我们最终可以实现comparePolarAngle。

public int comparePolarAngle(Point p1, Point p2) {
   if(crossProduct(p1, p2) == 0) {
      return 0;
   }
   else if(p1.equals(referencePoint) || crossProduct(p1, p2) > 0) {
      return -1;
   }
   else {
      return 1;
   }
}

我将快速排序的实现留给您,因为我不知道您的Point对象是如何存储,访问和比较的。
