Latitude longitude to meters on Mars

5 次查看(过去 30 天)
Hello, I have to transform lat, lon to meters on Mars. I tried deg2km(..., 'mars'), but it doesn't work because this function consider mars as a sphere. Any idea?
Thank you.

Well, obviously not from scratch. I've seen something like that. But in my case it doesn't work with the flattening of Mars.
Pratically I need something that transform degrees in meters on an ellipsoid.

I'm going to comment on this in case someone else is looking for this (apparently I wasn't the only one!):
this page gives the radii taken into consideration for the coordinates. To change from degree to meters, calculate the circumference, divide by 360 and it gives a factor to go from degree to km.

Hello,
Are you looking for something like the Vincenty's formulae in Matlab? It is used to calculate the distance between two points on the surface of a spheroid.
you can change the parameters of the ellipsoid axis in the file for Mars I guess.
I hope this helped,
Matthias
