Best way to convert from a 1D matrix to a 3D matrix with isotropic distribution

4 次查看(过去 30 天)
I have 1D data which has values at equally spaced intervals from r=0 to r=r, where r is a distance i.e.
r x
0.0 1.16000
0.2 1.21000
0.5 1.24000
0.7 1.25000
0.9 1.24000
1.2 1.22000
1.4 1.21000
1.6 1.18000
etc
This data is isotropic (from r=0) in three dimensions, so I want to go from a 1D dataset to 3D. I thought that the best option may be to convert to spherical polar coordinates using the function cart2pol and writing a For loop to loop around all values of theta and phi, filling in the values, then convert back to cartesian coodinates. However, I know that for loops can be time consuming computationally in Matlab and wondered if there was a better way of doing it? I am using Matlab version R2011B with the image processing toolbox. Thanks!

A good point, I don't actually need to convert to spherical polar coordinates because I already have r (which is rho in the Matlab documentation) and I can assume that the data I have is at theta=phi=0 (where theta= azimuth and phi=elevation). The next bit still stands I believe, so I would then loop over all possible values of theta and phi, then convert to cartesian (using sph2cart). So is there a more efficient method for this part? Apologies for the mix up and thanks for the comment.
