Find curve intersection points in lat lon between rivers and satellite traces on a map

Hello, I have a set of (lon,lat) points defining the course of a river. Then I also have a set of (lon, lat) points defining the traces of satellite measurements on-ground. All are discrete finite points but of course both are in reality continuous (e.g. the river has infinite points). I want to find the intersections between both curves. It seems to be a curve intersection problem solvable with polyxpoly, but I get erratic intersections which do not make sense. Maybe because the satellite traces are not really a 'curve'? It seems so, it closes the curves of the traces which gives the erratic points
I attach a mat file with exemplary lat lon data to intersect. The provided river in fact does not intersect the satellite traces, but instead I get one invalid one. Thank you

The river points falls very much with in the satelite points. They are not intersecting. How do you expect to get intersection point(s)?
