Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of geographic information and location service technology, and in particular relates to a method, device and equipment for efficiently calculating the distance between a position and a polygonal area. Background Art
[0002] In the field of location monitoring, real-time calculation of the distance between the device location and the polygon area is the core requirement for realizing functions such as electronic fences and cross-border alarms. The traditional method uses the ray method combined with Euclidean distance calculation. Although it can determine the relative position of the point and the polygon, it faces the following key bottlenecks: 1. High computational complexity: When the number of edges in a polygonal area increases, the ray method needs to traverse each edge and calculate the intersection points. The amount of floating-point operations increases linearly with the number of vertices, resulting in significant response delays for devices such as vehicle terminals and drones in high-density polygonal scenarios (for example, a scenario with thousands of vertices takes more than 200ms), making it difficult to meet real-time alarm requirements. 2. Plane projection error accumulation: Existing methods mostly use plane coordinate systems to simplify calculations, ignoring the influence of the earth's curvature. In long-distance or high-latitude scenarios, the plane approximation error causes the distance calculation deviation to exceed 15% of the actual value, seriously affecting the positioning accuracy. 3. Dynamic fences have poor adaptability: Traditional algorithms are not optimized for dynamically updated polygons (such as traffic control zones). Each fence update requires full recalculation, which causes computing resource contention and interruption, and the generation of alarm signals is delayed by seconds. 4. Waste of hardware resources: Embedded devices are limited by computing power and memory. Complex models such as Heron's formula and vector projection run inefficiently under low power conditions (for example, a single vertical line calculation takes >10ms), which restricts the implementation of edge computing scenarios. Summary of the invention

The monitoring area is a dynamically updated polygonal geographic fence.
[0031] Summary of working principle: The present invention adopts a double-layer calculation mechanism of "internal and external prediction + dynamic optimization" to realize efficient determination of the distance between the position and the polygon area; firstly, the improved ray method is used to quickly determine whether the target point is located inside the polygon: horizontal rays are emitted along the latitude of the target point, and the number of intersections with each edge of the polygon is calculated. Odd-numbered intersections are determined to be internal (distance 0), and even-numbered intersections start external distance calculation; in the external calculation stage, a combined strategy of "vector projection screening + spherical vertical distance calculation" is adopted: invalid endpoints are quickly eliminated through vector dot products, and the spherical Heron's formula is used only for edges that meet the conditions to calculate the vertical distance, and finally the minimum distance of all edges is selected as the final result; at the same time, the earth radius parameter (6356.752km / 6371km / 6378.137km) is dynamically switched according to the latitude of the target point to realize error compensation in different latitude areas.
[0032] Advantages analysis: Computing efficiency leaps forward The ray method uses latitude rays to simplify the intersection judgment, which reduces the calculation amount by 70% compared with the traditional full path traversal algorithm; The vector projection screening mechanism keeps the Heron formula call rate below 15%, which is 5 times faster than the traditional full vertical distance calculation solution; Dynamic adaptation of accuracy The dynamic earth radius selection strategy compresses the spherical curvature error to 0.3 m / 10 km at high latitudes (>60°); The meridian convergence compensation algorithm makes the direction deviation in the polar region ≤±0.5°, which is better than the ±2.5° error of the conventional solution; Hardware resources are extremely simple The memory usage is optimized to O(1) level, and 32KB of memory can process tens of thousands of vertex polygons, which is suitable for embedded devices; The calculation process has no recursion / iterative dependency, and the single-core throughput of an 8-bit microprocessor reaches 500 points / second; Dynamic response enhancement Supports dynamic update of 1,000 vertex fences in 0.1 seconds, which is 300 times faster than existing solutions; The unordered vertex sequence adaptive algorithm can handle 99% of irregular polygons (including self-intersecting edges); Cross-platform compatibility The output module supports JSON / CSV dual protocols and seamlessly connects with mainstream GIS platforms; The computing core can be deployed on FPGA to achieve hardware acceleration, with latency as low as 50μs / point; While maintaining O(n) time complexity, the present invention achieves millimeter-level spherical calculation accuracy in a breakthrough manner, meeting the needs of real-time monitoring of industrial-grade geographic fences, and is particularly suitable for high-real-time scenarios such as dynamic fences in Internet of Vehicles and monitoring of no-fly zones for drones.
[0033] Embodiment 1: Dynamic monitoring device or equipment for logistics distribution range Scenario Description A logistics company needs to monitor the distance between the courier's location and the distribution center's service area (hexagonal geo-fence) in real time. When the courier exceeds the fence boundary, a distance alarm is triggered and the nearest delivery resource is dispatched. Actual data and calculation process: Input data: Distribution center geofence vertices (WGS84 coordinate system, in clockwise order): A(39.9035, 116.4012); B(39.9058, 116.4126); C(39.8992, 116.4180); D(39.8910, 116.4143); E(39.8885, 116.4057); F(39.8943, 116.3975); (Closed from beginning to end: F to A); The position of the courier to be tested: P(39.6900, 116.7100); 2. Internal determination (ray method) Shoot a horizontal ray along latitude 39.8960, traversing the edge EF-FA-AB-BC-CD-DE: Edge EF (F to E): latitude range 39.8885~39.8943, P latitude 39.8960 is out of range, skipped; Edge FA (A to F): Latitude range 39.8943~39.9035, calculate the longitude of the intersection: lon' = (116.4012-116.3975) / (39.9035-39.8943)×(39.8960-39.8943) +116.3975 =116.3981; 116.3981 < 116.4089, not included in the intersection points; Side BC (B to C): latitude range 39.8992~39.9058, intersection longitude: lon'=(116.4180-116.4126) / (39.8992-39.9058)×(39.8960-39.9058)+116.4126=116.4153; 116.4153 >116.4089, intersection number Cross=1; The remaining edges have no valid intersections: Judgment result: Cross = 1 (odd number), the courier is inside the fence, and the output distance is 0 meters.
[0034] 3. External scene simulation (assuming P is located outside) If the courier moves to P'(39.8900, 116.4100): Ray method: Cross=2 (even number), triggering external distance calculation; Dynamic Earth radius: P' latitude 39.8900, select R=6371km; Calculation of the shortest distance between sides AB: Using the spherical distance formula: ; Calculate the spherical distances PA = 35.4907 km, PB = 34.947 km, AB = 1.0055 km; The angle value of angle PBA is calculated to be 122. Based on the geometric characteristics of obtuse triangles, the corresponding side PA is calculated using the cosine theorem, and PA=34.947km; Full edge traversal: the shortest distances of each edge are 34.109km, 33.731km, 33.731km, 34.1055km, and 34.2498km respectively; Final output: The minimum distance is 33.731km, triggering the "out of delivery range" alarm.
