Find closest values in an array of x and y coordinated compared to a given set of coordinates

13 次查看(过去 30 天)
Hello all,
I've got two vectors of coordinates
x = linspace(400000,500000,100) and
y = linspace(100000,200000,100)
*********
I've got the given coordinates of a point
x_coord= 406000 and y_coord = 170000 and I'd like to find the position/index of the BOTH vectors x and y that are CLOSER to the given coordinate point.
********
I need an index that would fulfill BOTH the nearest values of x and y and at the end I'd get only one index, not two different indices for vectors x and y.
I know that if I had just one vector, I could use the commands:
[c_x index_x] = min(abs(x_coord-x));
[c_y index_y] = min(abs(y_coord-y));
But I don't need that now.
**********
Any thoughts on that?

Actually I found the solution:
I created a table with the x and y coordinates:
The small code is:
*********
table[x y];
[d,p] = min((table(:,1)-x_coord).^2 + (table(:,2)-y_coord).^2);
**************
and p gives the index in 'table' matrix that meets the condition of getting the minimum distance between the point (x_coord,y_coord) and both x and y vectors

Hello
I tried the 'pdist2' command, but when I typed
[D,I] = pdist2(abs(x-x_coord),abs(y-y_coord),distance,'Smallest',k) ;
I get the error that there are not enough input arguments.
Do you know what would be the solution to that?

Rows in {X,Y} to pdist2 are observations so
[dmin,imin]=pdist2([x y],[x0 y0],'euclidean','smallest',1);
is the result the same as your other solution. Not sure which is quicker...
