This set of functions, based on a paper submitted to IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters [1], computes the angles to the horizons from an elevation grid, measured in degrees upward from the horizontal. The one-dimensional problem uses an order N algorithm [2]. Horizons for arbitrary azimuths are derived by rotating the elevation grid, then calculating the horizons along the columns of the rotated grid and re-rotating the grid back to its original orientation. The code supports grids in either projected or geographic format; it also calculates the distances to the horizon. One of the demo illustrations uses my Sun Position toolbox, but the needed functions are included here too.
