如何计算由经纬度指定的两点之间的距离?

为了澄清,我想用千米来表示距离;这些点使用WGS84系统,我想了解可用方法的相对准确性。

下面是一个c#实现:

static class DistanceAlgorithm
{
    const double PIx = 3.141592653589793;
    const double RADIUS = 6378.16;

    /// <summary>
    /// Convert degrees to Radians
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="x">Degrees</param>
    /// <returns>The equivalent in radians</returns>
    public static double Radians(double x)
    {
        return x * PIx / 180;
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Calculate the distance between two places.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="lon1"></param>
    /// <param name="lat1"></param>
    /// <param name="lon2"></param>
    /// <param name="lat2"></param>
    /// <returns></returns>
    public static double DistanceBetweenPlaces(
        double lon1,
        double lat1,
        double lon2,
        double lat2)
    {
        double dlon = Radians(lon2 - lon1);
        double dlat = Radians(lat2 - lat1);

        double a = (Math.Sin(dlat / 2) * Math.Sin(dlat / 2)) + Math.Cos(Radians(lat1)) * Math.Cos(Radians(lat2)) * (Math.Sin(dlon / 2) * Math.Sin(dlon / 2));
        double angle = 2 * Math.Atan2(Math.Sqrt(a), Math.Sqrt(1 - a));
        return angle * RADIUS;
    }

}

function getDistanceFromLatLonInKm(lat1,lon1,lat2,lon2,units) {
  var R = 6371; // Radius of the earth in km
  var dLat = deg2rad(lat2-lat1);  // deg2rad below
  var dLon = deg2rad(lon2-lon1); 
  var a = 
    Math.sin(dLat/2) * Math.sin(dLat/2) +
    Math.cos(deg2rad(lat1)) * Math.cos(deg2rad(lat2)) * 
    Math.sin(dLon/2) * Math.sin(dLon/2)
    ; 
  var c = 2 * Math.atan2(Math.sqrt(a), Math.sqrt(1-a)); 
  var d = R * c; 
  var miles = d / 1.609344; 

if ( units == 'km' ) {  
return d; 
 } else {
return miles;
}}

查克的解决方案,也适用于英里。

下面是VB的实现。NET,这个实现将根据您传递的Enum值以KM或Miles为单位给您结果。

Public Enum DistanceType
    Miles
    KiloMeters
End Enum

Public Structure Position
    Public Latitude As Double
    Public Longitude As Double
End Structure

Public Class Haversine

    Public Function Distance(Pos1 As Position,
                             Pos2 As Position,
                             DistType As DistanceType) As Double

        Dim R As Double = If((DistType = DistanceType.Miles), 3960, 6371)

        Dim dLat As Double = Me.toRadian(Pos2.Latitude - Pos1.Latitude)

        Dim dLon As Double = Me.toRadian(Pos2.Longitude - Pos1.Longitude)

        Dim a As Double = Math.Sin(dLat / 2) * Math.Sin(dLat / 2) + Math.Cos(Me.toRadian(Pos1.Latitude)) * Math.Cos(Me.toRadian(Pos2.Latitude)) * Math.Sin(dLon / 2) * Math.Sin(dLon / 2)

        Dim c As Double = 2 * Math.Asin(Math.Min(1, Math.Sqrt(a)))

        Dim result As Double = R * c

        Return result

    End Function

    Private Function toRadian(val As Double) As Double

        Return (Math.PI / 180) * val

    End Function

End Class

这个链接可能对你有帮助,因为它详细介绍了使用哈弗辛公式来计算距离。

摘录:

这个脚本计算两点之间的大圆距离 也就是说,在地球表面上的最短距离-使用 “半正矢”公式。

function getDistanceFromLatLonInKm(lat1,lon1,lat2,lon2) {
  var R = 6371; // Radius of the earth in km
  var dLat = deg2rad(lat2-lat1);  // deg2rad below
  var dLon = deg2rad(lon2-lon1); 
  var a = 
    Math.sin(dLat/2) * Math.sin(dLat/2) +
    Math.cos(deg2rad(lat1)) * Math.cos(deg2rad(lat2)) * 
    Math.sin(dLon/2) * Math.sin(dLon/2)
    ; 
  var c = 2 * Math.atan2(Math.sqrt(a), Math.sqrt(1-a)); 
  var d = R * c; // Distance in km
  return d;
}

function deg2rad(deg) {
  return deg * (Math.PI/180)
}

我已经创建了这个小Javascript LatLng对象,可能对某人有用。

var latLng1 = new LatLng(5, 3);
var latLng2 = new LatLng(6, 7);
var distance = latLng1.distanceTo(latLng2); 

代码:

/**
 * latLng point
 * @param {Number} lat
 * @param {Number} lng
 * @returns {LatLng}
 * @constructor
 */
function LatLng(lat,lng) {
    this.lat = parseFloat(lat);
    this.lng = parseFloat(lng);

    this.__cache = {};
}

LatLng.prototype = {
    toString: function() {
        return [this.lat, this.lng].join(",");
    },

    /**
     * calculate distance in km to another latLng, with caching
     * @param {LatLng} latLng
     * @returns {Number} distance in km
     */
    distanceTo: function(latLng) {
        var cacheKey = latLng.toString();
        if(cacheKey in this.__cache) {
            return this.__cache[cacheKey];
        }

        // the fastest way to calculate the distance, according to this jsperf test;
        // http://jsperf.com/haversine-salvador/8
        // http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27928
        var deg2rad = 0.017453292519943295; // === Math.PI / 180
        var lat1 = this.lat * deg2rad;
        var lng1 = this.lng * deg2rad;
        var lat2 = latLng.lat * deg2rad;
        var lng2 = latLng.lng * deg2rad;
        var a = (
            (1 - Math.cos(lat2 - lat1)) +
            (1 - Math.cos(lng2 - lng1)) * Math.cos(lat1) * Math.cos(lat2)
            ) / 2;
        var distance = 12742 * Math.asin(Math.sqrt(a)); // Diameter of the earth in km (2 * 6371)

        // cache the distance
        this.__cache[cacheKey] = distance;

        return distance;
    }
};

我通过简化公式来简化计算。

下面是Ruby版本:

include Math
earth_radius_mi = 3959
radians = lambda { |deg| deg * PI / 180 }
coord_radians = lambda { |c| { :lat => radians[c[:lat]], :lng => radians[c[:lng]] } }

# from/to = { :lat => (latitude_in_degrees), :lng => (longitude_in_degrees) }
def haversine_distance(from, to)
  from, to = coord_radians[from], coord_radians[to]
  cosines_product = cos(to[:lat]) * cos(from[:lat]) * cos(from[:lng] - to[:lng])
  sines_product = sin(to[:lat]) * sin(from[:lat])
  return earth_radius_mi * acos(cosines_product + sines_product)
end
