Vincenty Equation: Figure 13. Deployment Diagram

The document discusses the Vincenty equation, which is used to calculate the distance between two points on an ellipsoidal Earth. It presents the equations needed to calculate differences in longitude and latitude, the distance between points, and the angle between the points. It involves iterative calculations using the latitude and longitude values of the starting and end points to determine the distance and angles with high accuracy compared to simpler formulas.
