How to calculate distance from one point base to multipoints and save it as a row?

Hello Everyone,

I need your help in order to overcome my problem, here is my code:

AP_dist = zeros(N);

       for i = 1:N

          for j=1:1
               p=line([MS_loc(i,1) AP_pos(1,1)], [MS_loc(i,2)     AP_pos(1,2)],'Marker','.','LineStyle','-.');

               X= [MS_loc(i,1),AP_pos(1,1);MS_loc(i,2),AP_pos(1,2)];
                AP_dist= pdist(X,'euclidean')
                 pause(1)

           end
       end

And the problem is?

ihave N=5. the problem is. AP_dist just save the latest value. it should have 5 value as my N=5.

Answer 1

[Andrei Bobrov]

AP_dist= sqrt(sum(bsxfun(@minus,MS_loc,AP_pos).^2,2));

OR

for jj = size(MS_loc,1):-1:1
    AP_dist(jj,1) = pdist([MS_loc(jj,:);AP_pos]);
end

OR

AP_dist = arrayfun(@(ii)pdist([MS_loc(ii,:);AP_pos]),(1:size(MS_loc,1))');

thank you very much!! ive tried all of them, and all works well

Answer 2

[Walter Roberson]

AP_dist(i) = pdist(X,'euclidean');

[sarah nik]

thank you for this. now i wonder whether i use the correct formula to calculate distance. because it gives different value. please help me AP_dist(i) = pdist(X,'euclidean'); or AP_dist(i) = sqrt((MS_loc(i,1) - AP_pos(j,1))^2 ... + (MS_loc(i,2) - AP_pos(j,2))^2);
