Class DistancePlaneProjection

java.lang.Object

com.graphhopper.util.DistanceCalcEarth

com.graphhopper.util.DistancePlaneProjection

All Implemented Interfaces:

DistanceCalc

public class DistancePlaneProjection
extends DistanceCalcEarth

Calculates the approximate distance of two points on earth. Very good results if delat_lon is not too big (see DistanceCalcTest), e.g. the distance is small.

calcDist

public double calcDist(double fromLat,
                       double fromLon,
                       double toLat,
                       double toLon)

Description copied from class: DistanceCalcEarth

Calculates distance of (from, to) in meter.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haversine_formula a = sin²(Δlat/2) + cos(lat1).cos(lat2).sin²(Δlong/2) c = 2.atan2(√a, √(1−a)) d = R.c

calcDist3D

public double calcDist3D(double fromLat,
                         double fromLon,
                         double fromHeight,
                         double toLat,
                         double toLon,
                         double toHeight)

Description copied from class: DistanceCalcEarth

This implements a rather quick solution to calculate 3D distances on earth using euclidean geometry mixed with Haversine formula used for the on earth distance. The haversine formula makes not so much sense as it is only important for large distances where then the rather smallish heights would becomes negligible.

Overrides:

calcDenormalizedDist

calcNormalizedDist

public double calcNormalizedDist(double dist)

Description copied from class: DistanceCalcEarth

Returns the specified length in normalized meter.
