distance variation in rough terrain in matlab

main.m
% Create a sample 3D rough terrain surface (replace this with your actual terrain data)
[X,Y] = meshgrid(1:10, 1:10);
Z = peaks(10);

% Define the starting and destination points
start_point = [1, 1];
destination_point = [10, 10];

% Find the shortest path considering the elevation changes using a pathfinding algorithm
shortest_path = dijkstra_algorithm(Z, start_point, destination_point);

% Calculate the total distance along the shortest path
total_distance = calculate_path_distance(shortest_path);

% Display the terrain surface and the shortest path
figure;
surf(X, Y, Z);
hold on;
plot3(shortest_path(:,1), shortest_path(:,2), Z(sub2ind(size(Z), shortest_path(:,1), shortest_path(:,2))), 'r', 'LineWidth', 2);
hold off;

function path = dijkstra_algorithm(elevation_data, start_point, destination_point)
    % Code for Dijkstra's algorithm implementation
    % Replace this with actual Dijkstra's algorithm implementation
end

function total_distance = calculate_path_distance(path)
    % Code to calculate the total distance along the path
    % Replace this with actual distance calculation code
end
