The clue to the difference is the name.... PolytopeIntersector uses a
Polytope do the intersection tests, while a LineSegmentIntersector
uses a LineSegmenet.  A Polytope is convex hull built from a list of
planes (that represent half spaces).  A LineSegment is simple two
vertices that define the line segment.

I would encourage you to search the web for more indepth discussion of
what a Polytope is and what it's used for.
