In a 2 dimensional plane the distance between points X 1 Y 1 and X 2 Y 2 is given by the Pythagorean theorem. That means Euclidean Distance between 2 points x1 and x2 is nothing but the L2 norm of vector x1 x2 This is actually by definition that the L2 Norm of a vector Euclidian distance of that. Given that a vector vecPQ has an initial point at P2 2 1 and a terminal point at Q6 3 2 find the vector vecPQ.
The distance of an arbitrary point p to this line is given by.
Given some vectors vecu vecv in mathbbRn we denote the distance between those two points in the following manner. For safetys sake I added this clarification to the existing blog post. If I have two points in 3d A 15794 512 279 B 16744 867 249 these are x y z coordinates in mm What is the easiest way to compute the distance mm between these two points in matlab. That means Euclidean Distance between 2 points x1 and x2 is nothing but the L2 norm of vector x1 x2 This is actually by definition that the L2 Norm of a vector Euclidian distance of that.
