How to loop function for a 2 column matrix
显示 更早的评论
Hi,
I have this calculation here to calculate the distance between 2 points on a globe with their latitudes and longitudes.
[arclen, az] = distance([40.333, -10.036 ], [40.333, -9.46]);
km = deg2km(arclen);
display(km)
This displays:
>> stationdist
km =
48.8236
However, I have multiple latitudes and longitudes like so:
loc1 = [40.333 -10.036;
40.333 -9.46;
40.333 -9.767;
40.333 -12.219;
41.383 -13.888;
42.581 -15.461;
43.78 -17.032;
45.05 -18.505;
46.544 -19.672;
48.039 -20.848;
49.529 -22.017;
50.278 -22.603;
53.019 -24.752;
55.506 -26.71;
57.004 -27.879;
58.207 -29.725;
58.843 -31.267;
59.102 -33.828;
59.363 -36.397;
59.623 -38.954;
59.773 -41.297;
59.902 -43.015;
59.823 -42.399;
59.799 -42.004;
59.753 -45.112;
59.434 -45.666;
59.068 -46.083;
56.916 -47.422;
55.842 -48.093;
53.692 -49.433;
53 -51.1;]
I need to perform the calculation between each row, then each distance needs to be a sum of itself and previous distances. It should look like this, assuming only 4 columns are used and that stations are calculated to be roughly 50km apart.
>> stationdist
km =
48.8236
96.3574
156.3246
201.4127
How would I create this loop with my given matrix?

You do not need a loop - the distance function is vectorized and accepts vector-inputs. You simply need to use indexing to get what you want:
[arclen, az] = distance([loc1(1:end-1,1), loc1(1:end-1,2)], [loc1(2:end,1), loc1(2:end,2)]);
km = deg2km(arclen);
This should return a vector of km with all values.

I don't have the mapping toolbox, so following code is untested
dist = zeros(size(loc1,1)-1,1);
for i = 1:size(loc1,1)-1
[arclen, az] = distance(loc1(i,:), loc1(i+1,:));
dist(i) = deg2km(arclen);
end
stationdist = cumsum(dist)
