Algorithm 5 Generate Random Point on Line

1:
function GenerateRandomPointOnLine(point_a, point_b, randomness)
2:
$t \leftarrow$ Random number between 0 and 1
3:
$x \leftarrow (1 - t) \times p o i n t_a . x + t \times p o i n t_b . x$
4:
$y \leftarrow (1 - t) \times p o i n t_a . y + t \times p o i n t_b . y$
5:
Calculate the directional difference $d x$ , $d y$ between $p o i n t_b$ and $p o i n t_a$
6:
Determine perpendicular direction $p e r p_d x$ , $p e r p_d y$
7:
Normalize the perpendicular direction
8:
Calculate $r a n d o m_d i s t a n c e$ based on $r a n d o m n e s s$
9:
Adjust x, y coordinates by applying $r a n d o m_d i s t a n c e$ in the perpendicular direction
10:
return x, y
11:
end function
