I want to calculate the distance between 2 non-paralle.
I know the equation of two palnes
other:
i have a .obj file that contains the 2 plane cloud and i want to calculate the distance between them

Fine, but what about the solutions that you've been given? Do you plan to address them, and explain why they are or are not what you want?

@bayrem,
The code you have posted does not address any of the requests for clarification you have been asked for. All it shows is how you generated your data. It does not explain why the Answers below don't fulfill what you want.

What about point-plane distance formula?

If you mean that you want the minimum separation between the planes over some bounded (X,Y) rectangle, then just check the separation distance at the 4 corners of the rectangle. The minimum separation will be attained at one of the corners, EDIT: assuming (as in your plots) that the planes don't intersect within the rectangle. If they do intersect, you can detect that, too, by seeing if there is a sign change in the separation among any of the 4 corners.

Or maybe the average distance over some restricted domain?
