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;
        }
    }

在我的项目中，我需要计算很多点之间的距离，所以我继续尝试优化我在这里找到的代码。平均而言，在不同的浏览器中，我的新实现的运行速度比获得最多好评的答案快2倍。

function distance(lat1, lon1, lat2, lon2) {
  var p = 0.017453292519943295;    // Math.PI / 180
  var c = Math.cos;
  var a = 0.5 - c((lat2 - lat1) * p)/2 + 
          c(lat1 * p) * c(lat2 * p) * 
          (1 - c((lon2 - lon1) * p))/2;

  return 12742 * Math.asin(Math.sqrt(a)); // 2 * R; R = 6371 km
}

您可以在这里使用我的jsPerf并查看结果。

最近我需要在python中做同样的事情，所以这里是一个python实现:

from math import cos, asin, sqrt, pi

def distance(lat1, lon1, lat2, lon2):
    p = pi/180
    a = 0.5 - cos((lat2-lat1)*p)/2 + cos(lat1*p) * cos(lat2*p) * (1-cos((lon2-lon1)*p))/2
    return 12742 * asin(sqrt(a)) #2*R*asin...

为了完整起见:维基百科上的Haversine。

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

function distance($lat1, $lon1, $lat2, $lon2) { 
    $pi80 = M_PI / 180; 
    $lat1 *= $pi80; $lon1 *= $pi80; $lat2 *= $pi80; $lon2 *= $pi80; 
    $dlat = $lat2 - $lat1; 
    $dlon = $lon2 - $lon1; 
    $a = sin($dlat / 2) * sin($dlat / 2) + cos($lat1) * cos($lat2) * sin($dlon / 2) * sin($dlon / 2);  
    $km = 6372.797 * 2 * atan2(sqrt($a), sqrt(1 - $a)); 
    return $km; 
}

下面是Erlang实现

lat_lng({Lat1, Lon1}=_Point1, {Lat2, Lon2}=_Point2) ->
  P = math:pi() / 180,
  R = 6371, % Radius of Earth in KM
  A = 0.5 - math:cos((Lat2 - Lat1) * P) / 2 +
    math:cos(Lat1 * P) * math:cos(Lat2 * P) * (1 - math:cos((Lon2 - Lon1) * P))/2,
  R * 2 * math:asin(math:sqrt(A)).

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;
    }

}
