matlab利用经纬度计算距离,MATLAB函数可计算两个坐标（纬度和经度）之间的距离...

How can I calculate distance between two world map coordinates (latitude and longitude) using MATLAB R2015a (in meters)?

If you don't have access to the MATLAB Mapping toolbox then a simple approximation is to use the Haversine formula. Here is an excerpt from the link:

The haversine formula is an equation important in navigation, giving great-circle distances between two points on a sphere from their longitudes and latitudes. It is a special case of a more general formula in spherical trigonometry, the law of haversines, relating the sides and angles of spherical triangles.

Here is a MATLAB implementation:

function rad = radians(degree)

% degrees to radians

rad = degree .* pi / 180;

end;

function [a,c,dlat,dlon]=haversine(lat1,lon1,lat2,lon2)

% HAVERSINE_FORMULA.AWK - converted from AWK

dlat = radians(lat2-lat1);

dlon = radians(lon2-lon1);

lat1 = radians(lat1);

lat2 = radians(lat2);

a = (sin(dlat./2)).^2 + cos(lat1) .* cos(lat2) .* (sin(dlon./2)).^2;

c = 2 .* asin(sqrt(a));

arrayfun(@(x) printf("distance: %.4f km\n",6372.8 * x), c);

end;

[a,c,dlat,dlon] = haversine(36.12,-86.67,33.94,-118.40); % BNA to LAX
