... Abstract Find nearest point on a triaxial ellipsoid to a specified line, and the distance from the ellipsoid to the line. ... If linept is inside the ellipsoid, pnear will not necessarily be the closest point of intersection. dist is the distance of the line from the ellipsoid. ... If the line intersects the ellipsoid, dist is zero. ... Examples 1) We can find the distance between an instrument optic axis ray and the surface of a body modelled as a tri-axial ellipsoid using this routine. ...
