In SymbolixAU/spatial.data.table:

Description

Calculates the Cosine distance between two points

Usage

dtCosine(latFrom, lonFrom, latTo, lonTo, r = earthsRadius())

Arguments

latFrom	latitude
lonFrom	longitude
latTo	latitude
lonTo	latitude
r	radius of earth

Value

distance in metres

Examples

dt <- data.table(lat1 = seq(-38, -37, by = 0.1),
  lon1 = seq(144, 145, by = 0.1),
  lat2 = seq(-35, -34, by = 0.1),
  lon2 = seq(145, 146, by = 0.1))

dt[, distance := dtCosine(lat1, lon1, lat2, lon2)]
