Improve Distance Calculator with more accuracy #796

Open dominikriemer opened 1 year ago

dominikriemer commented 1 year ago

at the moment the Haversine formula is used to calculate the distance between 2 lat/lng spherical points. Using the Vincenty solutions leads to a more accurate result

https://github.com/apache/streampipes/tree/dev/streampipes-extensions/streampipes-processors-geo-jvm/src/main/java/org/apache/streampipes/processors/geo/jvm/processor/staticdistancecalculator

The distance is calculated from a static point Berlin lat 52.520008 lng 13.404954

My plan is to add this lib to get better performance for calculation and other tasks

https://github.com/geographiclib/geographiclib-java

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/net.sf.geographiclib/GeographicLib-Java -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>net.sf.geographiclib</groupId>
    <artifactId>GeographicLib-Java</artifactId>
    <version>2.0</version>
</dependency>

Due to MIT license -> https://geographiclib.sourceforge.io/LICENSE.txt I think it is safe to add. It is correct @dominikriemer ?
