Introduction

The Mapping Toolbox provides a comprehensive set of functions and graphical user interfaces for building map displays and performing geospatial data analysis in MATLAB. You can create map displays that combine data from multiple modalities and display them in their correct spatial relationships. The toolbox supports standard analyses, such as line-of-sight calculations on terrain data or geographic computations that account for the curvature of the Earth’s surface. Most of the functions in the Mapping Toolbox are written in the open MATLAB language. This means that you can inspect the algorithms, modify the source code, create your own custom functions, and automate frequently performed tasks.

The toolbox supports key mapping and geospatial data analysis, manipulation, and visualization tasks in defense, intelligence, and homeland security applications, as well as in oceanography, geophysics, and other earth and planetary sciences.
