在Matlab中给定弧长和方向/角度的曲面上查找点

这里是一个假设 dx=1 , dy=1 ,合并任意x和y步长应该不难

% //I am assuming here that you know how to get your Z
z=peaks(60); 
% //start point
spoint=[30,30];
% //user given angle
angle=pi/4;
% // distance you want
distance=10;
%// this is the furthes the poitn can be
endpoint=[spoint(1)+distance*cos(angle) spoint(2)+distance*sin(angle)]; 

%// we will need to discretize, so choose your "accuracy"
npoints=100;
%//compute the path integral over the line defined by startpoitn and endpoint
[cx,cy,cz]=improfile(z,[spoint(1) endpoint(1)],[spoint(2) endpoint(2)],npoints);

% // this computes distances between adjacent points and then computes the cumulative sum
dcx=diff(cx);
dcy=diff(cy);
dcz=diff(cz);

totaldist=cumsum(sqrt(dcx.^2+dcy.^2+dcz.^2));
%// here it is! the last index before it gets to the desired distance
ind=find(totaldist<distance,1,'last');
