how to calculate the intersection area of two ellipses

12 次查看(过去 30 天)
hello, how can i calculte the intersection area of two ellipses, each ellipse is characterized by(x,y,a,b,w).I thought of solving the system of equations of the two ellipses ,then calculate the area bounded by the points found as solution. would you please help me ?

Had you solved the problem? I have the same problem now. Could you tell me the solution?

The only solution I've seen is a numerical one, not an analytical one.

Here is an arxiv paper on ellipse intersection algorithms.

To create an ellipse numerically in 2-D is very easy - just see the FAQ. http://matlab.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ#How_do_I_create_an_ellipse.3F To rotate it, just multiply the coordinates by the rotation matrix [cos(theta), -sin(theta); cos(theta), sin(theta)]. Then just AND the two ellipse images
intersectionArea = ellipsoid1 & ellipsoid2;
pixelArea = sum(intersectionArea (:)); % Compute the area in pixels.

what do you consider the "real" area? Do you have anlytical formulas for your ellipses?

In fact each ellipse is characterized by (x,y)its center coordinate, it big and small axes(a,b) and it's orientation w. I’ve read a code which calculate the intersection area of two circles analytically .the equation is: when (d(i,j)> abs(ri-rj)) & (d(i,j)<(ri+rj), d is the distance between the centers of the two objects) then the intersection area is M(i,j) = f(xi,yi,ri,xj,yj,rj) = ri^2*arctan2(yk,xk)+rj^2*arctan2(yk,d(i,j)-xd(i,j)*yk where xk = (ri^2-rj^2+d(i,j)^2)/(2*d(i,j)) and yk = sqrt(ri^2-xk^2). So I thought why not i calculate the intersection area of two ellipse with the same way.But i don't know how to extract the analytical formula?
