We have a point in three dimensional space and an ellipsoid centered at the point of origin. The ellipsoid is upstanding meaning there is no rotation applied. It has three different radii, or how you call it for an ellipsoid.
How can I easily check whether a point is inside the volume covered by the ellipsoid? For example for a sphere, which I had before, I simply used the distance of the point vector and checked if it was smaller than the radius. But it becomes more tricky for ellipsoids.
For my use case an approximation would be fine, too.

An ellipsoid has three pairwise perpendicular axes of symmetry which intersect at a center of symmetry, called the center of the ellipsoid. The line segments that are delimited on the axes of symmetry by the ellipsoid are called the principal axes, or simply axes of the ellipsoid.
We can calculate the volume of an elliptical sphere with a simple and elegant ellipsoid equation: Volume = 4/3 * π * A * B * C , where: A, B, and C are the lengths of all three semi-axes of the ellipsoid.
Definition of a spheroid A sphere is based on a circle, while a spheroid (or ellipsoid) is based on an ellipse. A spheroid, or ellipsoid, is a sphere flattened at the poles. The shape of an ellipse is defined by two radii.
The standard equation of an ellipsoid centered at the origin and aligned with the axes is (x/a) 2 + (y/b) 2 + (z/c) 2 = 1 (The ellipsoid passes through points (a, 0, 0), (0, b, 0) and (0, 0, c).) Just plug in values for (x, y, z) for your point and if it's less than 1, the point is inside the ellipsoid.
4 Answers. The region (disk) bounded by the ellipse is given by the equation: (x−h)2 r2x + (y−k)2 r2y ≤ 1. So given a test point (x,y), plug it in (1). If the inequality is satisfied, then it is inside the ellipse; otherwise it is outside the ellipse. Moreover, the point is on the boundary of the region (i.e.,...
