Aug 26, 2008 · How do I calculate the distance between two points specified by latitude and longitude? For clarification, I'd like the distance in kilometers; the points use the WGS84 system …

What is the difference between the "Floyd-Warshall algorithm" and "Dijkstra's Algorithm", and which is the best for finding the shortest path in a graph? I need to calculate the shortest path …

The answer may still be interesting for somebody else: One may apply a variation of the marching square algorithm, applied (1) within the concave hull, and (2) then on (e.g. 3) different scales …

The algorithm picks on a number A along the curve, then looks up the safe distance and jumps to the next hashtable, or at least the algorithm does those factor checks until the next hashtable …

CRC32 algorithm is exactly what I'm looking for, but I can't use it because the table it requires is way too huge (it is for an embedded system where resources are VERY rare). So: any …
