To convert x, y, z coordinates to latitude and longitude in Matlab, you can use the following code:
main.m683 chars27 lines
In this code, the a
and f
constants define the WGS 84 ellipsoid, which is commonly used to model the Earth's shape. The x
, y
, and z
coordinates represent the position in a Cartesian coordinate system.
The r
, lon
, and lat
variables are calculated using standard spherical coordinate transformations. Finally, the alt
variable represents the altitude above the WGS 84 ellipsoid, which is used to correct the latitude for the ellipsoid's non-spherical shape.
The resulting lon
and lat
variables are in degrees and can be used to represent the position on a map or for other geolocation purposes.
