在其他答案中，r中的实现是缺失的。

用地质圈包中的distm函数计算两点之间的距离非常简单:

distm(p1, p2, fun = distHaversine)

地点:

p1 = longitude/latitude for point(s)
p2 = longitude/latitude for point(s)
# type of distance calculation
fun = distCosine / distHaversine / distVincentySphere / distVincentyEllipsoid 

由于地球不是完美的球形，所以椭球体的文森提公式可能是计算距离的最佳方法。因此，在地质圈包中，您可以使用:

distm(p1, p2, fun = distVincentyEllipsoid)

当然，你不一定要使用geosphere包，你也可以用一个函数来计算以R为基底的距离:

hav.dist <- function(long1, lat1, long2, lat2) {
  R <- 6371
  diff.long <- (long2 - long1)
  diff.lat <- (lat2 - lat1)
  a <- sin(diff.lat/2)^2 + cos(lat1) * cos(lat2) * sin(diff.long/2)^2
  b <- 2 * asin(pmin(1, sqrt(a))) 
  d = R * b
  return(d)
}

这个脚本[在PHP中]计算两点之间的距离。

public static function getDistanceOfTwoPoints($source, $dest, $unit='K') {
        $lat1 = $source[0];
        $lon1 = $source[1];
        $lat2 = $dest[0];
        $lon2 = $dest[1];

        $theta = $lon1 - $lon2;
        $dist = sin(deg2rad($lat1)) * sin(deg2rad($lat2)) +  cos(deg2rad($lat1)) * cos(deg2rad($lat2)) * cos(deg2rad($theta));
        $dist = acos($dist);
        $dist = rad2deg($dist);
        $miles = $dist * 60 * 1.1515;
        $unit = strtoupper($unit);

        if ($unit == "K") {
            return ($miles * 1.609344);
        }
        else if ($unit == "M")
        {
            return ($miles * 1.609344 * 1000);
        }
        else if ($unit == "N") {
            return ($miles * 0.8684);
        } 
        else {
            return $miles;
        }
    }

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;
    }

}

你也可以使用像geolib这样的模块:

安装方法:

$ npm install geolib

使用方法:

import { getDistance } from 'geolib'

const distance = getDistance(
    { latitude: 51.5103, longitude: 7.49347 },
    { latitude: "51° 31' N", longitude: "7° 28' E" }
)

console.log(distance)

要计算球体上两点之间的距离，你需要做大圆计算。

如果你需要将距离重新投影到平面上，MapTools中有许多C/ c++库可以帮助你进行地图投影。要做到这一点，你需要不同坐标系的投影字符串。

你可能还会发现MapWindow是一个可视化点的有用工具。此外，由于它是开源的，它是如何使用project.dll库的有用指南，它似乎是核心的开源投影库。

FSharp版本，使用里程:

let radialDistanceHaversine location1 location2 : float = 
                let degreeToRadian degrees = degrees * System.Math.PI / 180.0
                let earthRadius = 3959.0
                let deltaLat = location2.Latitude - location1.Latitude |> degreeToRadian
                let deltaLong = location2.Longitude - location1.Longitude |> degreeToRadian
                let a =
                    (deltaLat / 2.0 |> sin) ** 2.0
                    + (location1.Latitude |> degreeToRadian |> cos)
                    * (location2.Latitude |> degreeToRadian |> cos)
                    * (deltaLong / 2.0 |> sin) ** 2.0
                atan2 (a |> sqrt) (1.0 - a |> sqrt)
                * 2.0
                * earthRadius
