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。

非常感谢这一切。我在Objective-C iPhone应用程序中使用了以下代码:

const double PIx = 3.141592653589793;
const double RADIO = 6371; // Mean radius of Earth in Km

double convertToRadians(double val) {

   return val * PIx / 180;
}

-(double)kilometresBetweenPlace1:(CLLocationCoordinate2D) place1 andPlace2:(CLLocationCoordinate2D) place2 {

        double dlon = convertToRadians(place2.longitude - place1.longitude);
        double dlat = convertToRadians(place2.latitude - place1.latitude);

        double a = ( pow(sin(dlat / 2), 2) + cos(convertToRadians(place1.latitude))) * cos(convertToRadians(place2.latitude)) * pow(sin(dlon / 2), 2);
        double angle = 2 * asin(sqrt(a));

        return angle * RADIO;
}

纬度和经度是十进制的。我没有在asin()调用中使用min(),因为我使用的距离非常小,以至于它们不需要min()。

它给出了错误的答案,直到我传入弧度的值-现在它几乎与从苹果地图应用程序中获得的值相同:-)

    MKMapPoint  start, finish;


    start = MKMapPointForCoordinate(place1);
    finish = MKMapPointForCoordinate(place2);

    return MKMetersBetweenMapPoints(start, finish) / 1000;
}

我在这里发布了我的工作示例。

在MySQL中列出表中指定点(我们使用一个随机点- lat:45.20327, long:23.7806)之间距离小于50 KM的所有点(表中字段为coord_lat和coord_long):

列出所有距离<50,单位:公里(地球半径6371公里):

SELECT denumire, (6371 * acos( cos( radians(45.20327) ) * cos( radians( coord_lat ) ) * cos( radians( 23.7806 ) - radians(coord_long) ) + sin( radians(45.20327) ) * sin( radians(coord_lat) ) )) AS distanta 
FROM obiective 
WHERE coord_lat<>'' 
    AND coord_long<>'' 
HAVING distanta<50 
ORDER BY distanta desc

上面的例子是在MySQL 5.0.95和5.5.16 (Linux)中测试的。

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

我不喜欢添加另一个答案,但谷歌地图API v.3具有球形几何(以及更多)。在将你的WGS84转换为十进制度后,你可以这样做:

<script src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false&libraries=geometry" type="text/javascript"></script>  

distance = google.maps.geometry.spherical.computeDistanceBetween(
    new google.maps.LatLng(fromLat, fromLng), 
    new google.maps.LatLng(toLat, toLng));

关于谷歌的计算有多精确,甚至使用了什么模型都没有任何消息(尽管它说的是“球面”而不是“大地水准面”。顺便说一下,“直线”距离显然不同于一个人在地球表面旅行的距离,而这似乎是每个人都在假设的。

计算距离——尤其是大距离——的主要挑战之一是解释地球的曲率。如果地球是平的,计算两点之间的距离就会像计算直线一样简单!哈弗辛公式包括一个常数(下面是R变量),它表示地球的半径。根据你是用英里还是公里来测量,它分别等于3956英里或6367公里。 基本公式是:

Dlon = lon2 - lon1 dat = lat2 - lat1 = (sin (dlat / 2)) ^ 2 + cos (lat1) * cos (lat2) * (sin (dlon / 2)) ^ 2 C = 2 * atan2(√(a),√(1-a)) distance = R * c(其中R为地球半径) R = 6367公里OR 3956英里

     lat1, lon1: The Latitude and Longitude of point 1 (in decimal degrees)
     lat2, lon2: The Latitude and Longitude of point 2 (in decimal degrees)
     unit: The unit of measurement in which to calculate the results where:
     'M' is statute miles (default)
     'K' is kilometers
     'N' is nautical miles

样本

function distance(lat1, lon1, lat2, lon2, unit) {
    try {
        var radlat1 = Math.PI * lat1 / 180
        var radlat2 = Math.PI * lat2 / 180
        var theta = lon1 - lon2
        var radtheta = Math.PI * theta / 180
        var dist = Math.sin(radlat1) * Math.sin(radlat2) + Math.cos(radlat1) * Math.cos(radlat2) * Math.cos(radtheta);
        dist = Math.acos(dist)
        dist = dist * 180 / Math.PI
        dist = dist * 60 * 1.1515
        if (unit == "K") {
            dist = dist * 1.609344
        }
        if (unit == "N") {
            dist = dist * 0.8684
        }
        return dist
    } catch (err) {
        console.log(err);
    }
}

非常感谢这一切。我在Objective-C iPhone应用程序中使用了以下代码:

const double PIx = 3.141592653589793;
const double RADIO = 6371; // Mean radius of Earth in Km

double convertToRadians(double val) {

   return val * PIx / 180;
}

-(double)kilometresBetweenPlace1:(CLLocationCoordinate2D) place1 andPlace2:(CLLocationCoordinate2D) place2 {

        double dlon = convertToRadians(place2.longitude - place1.longitude);
        double dlat = convertToRadians(place2.latitude - place1.latitude);

        double a = ( pow(sin(dlat / 2), 2) + cos(convertToRadians(place1.latitude))) * cos(convertToRadians(place2.latitude)) * pow(sin(dlon / 2), 2);
        double angle = 2 * asin(sqrt(a));

        return angle * RADIO;
}

纬度和经度是十进制的。我没有在asin()调用中使用min(),因为我使用的距离非常小,以至于它们不需要min()。

它给出了错误的答案,直到我传入弧度的值-现在它几乎与从苹果地图应用程序中获得的值相同:-)
