使用GPS坐标从圆弧上移除圆弧

Question

How to remove the arc coordinates from the circle? I can't really use the latitude or longitude to compare the coordinate.

I have 3 coordinates to work with.

A is the start coordinate

B is the stop coordinate

C is the center coordinate

C also has the radius 13 miles from A or B or any coordinates from the circle

Please notes that the coordinates could be anywhere on the circle and in any orders.

Answer 1

Let's say that arc creates a angle of θ, so A and B difference of y coordinates gives the length of bottom triangle. So we say A (x1,y1) and B (x2,y2),

2rsin( θ/2 ) = y1-y2

solve this and you will get the θ. So and arc would be 2πr(θ/360).

Took all night to come up with this.

        /// <returns></returns>
        public static string ExactArtGpsCoordinate(TfrXY a, TfrXY b, TfrXY centerPoint, decimal nauticalMiles)
        {
            //Notice database store longitude then latitude
            StringBuilder coordinates = new StringBuilder();
            DbGeography point = DbGeography.PointFromText(string.Format("POINT ({0} {1})", centerPoint.LngX, centerPoint.LatY), DbGeography.DefaultCoordinateSystemId);
            // create a circle around a point, convert from Nautical Miles to Kilometers
            var radius = UniversalWeather.Weather.API.Utility.MetricConversions.MetricConversions.NauticalMilesToMeters(nauticalMiles);
            DbGeography orig = point.Buffer(Convert.ToDouble(radius));
            string resultData = orig.AsText();

            //Clean data
            resultData = resultData.Replace("POLYGON ((", "");
            resultData = resultData.Replace(", ", ",0\n");
            resultData = resultData.Replace("))", ",0");
