ecef2geodetic - Convert geocentric (ECEF) to geodetic coordinates

Syntax

[phi,lambda,h] = ecef2geodetic(x,y,z,ellipsoid)

Description

[phi,lambda,h] = ecef2geodetic(x,y,z,ellipsoid) converts geocentric Cartesian coordinates, stored in the coordinate arrays x, y, z, to geodetic coordinates phi (geodetic latitude in radians), lambda (geodetic longitude in radians), and h (height above the ellipsoid). The geodetic coordinates refer to the reference ellipsoid specified by ellipsoid (a row vector with the form [semimajor axis, eccentricity]). Arrays x, y, z, and h must use the same units as the semimajor axis. x, y, z, phi, lambda, and h must have the same shape.

Definitions

For a definition of the geocentric system, also known as Earth-Centered, Earth-Fixed (ECEF), see the help for geodetic2ecef.
