I think > the reason is how the points to generate the circle plane are generated which > assumes a sphere. > My proposal is the following: > Add a new method to PlanetModel: > public GeoPoint pointOnBearing(GeoPoint from, double dist, double bearing); > Which uses and algorithm that takes into account that the planet might not be > spherical. For example Vincenty's formulae > (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vincenty%27s_formulae). > Use this method to generate the points for the circle plane. My experiments > shows that this approach removes false negatives in WGS84 meanwhile it works > nicely in the Sphere. > Does it make sense? -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
