Syntax

plotOutline(olPlotter,positions,yaw,length,width)
plotOutline(___,Name,Value)

Description

plotOutline(olPlotter,positions,yaw,length,width) displays the rectangular outlines of cuboid objects on a bird's-eye plot. Specify the position, yaw angle of rotation, length, and width of each cuboid. The outline plotter, olPlotter, is associated with a birdsEyePlot object and configures the display of the specified outlines.

To remove all outlines associated with outline plotter olPlotter, call the clearData function and specify olPlotter as the input argument.

To display the outlines of actors that are in a driving scenario, first use targetOutlines to get the dimensions of the actors. Then, after calling outlinePlotter to create a plotter object, use the plotOutline function to display the outlines of all the actors in a bird's-eye plot.

example

plotOutline(___,Name,Value) specifies options using one or more Name,Value pair arguments and the input arguments from the previous syntax.

Create a driving scenario. Create a 25 m road segment, add a pedestrian and a vehicle, and specify their trajectories to follow. The pedestrian crosses the road at 1 m/s. The vehicle drives along the road at 10 m/s.

scenario = drivingScenario;

road(scenario,[0 0 0; 25 0 0]);

p = actor(scenario,'ClassID',4,'Length',0.2,'Width',0.4,'Height',1.7);
v = vehicle(scenario,'ClassID',1);

trajectory(p,[15 -3 0; 15 3 0],1);
trajectory(v,[v.RearOverhang 0 0; 25-v.Length+v.RearOverhang 0 0], 10);

Use a chase plot to display the scenario from the perspective of the vehicle.

chasePlot(v,'Centerline','on')

Create a bird's-eye plot, outline plotter, and lane boundary plotter.

bep = birdsEyePlot('XLim',[-25 25],'YLim',[-10 10]);
olPlotter = outlinePlotter(bep);
lbPlotter = laneBoundaryPlotter(bep);
legend('off')

Run the simulation loop. Update the plotter with outlines for the targets.

while advance(scenario)
   % Obtain the road boundaries and rectangular outlines.
   rb = roadBoundaries(v);
   [position,yaw,length,width,originOffset,color] = targetOutlines(v);

   % Update the bird's-eye plotters with the road and actors.
   plotLaneBoundary(lbPlotter,rb);
   plotOutline(olPlotter,position,yaw,length,width, ...
               'OriginOffset',originOffset,'Color',color);

   % Allow time for plot to update.
   pause(0.01)
end

Input Arguments

collapse all

Outline plotter, specified as an OutlinePlotter object. This object is stored in the Plotters property of a birdsEyePlot object and configures the display of the specified outlines in the bird's-eye plot. To create this object, use the outlinePlotter function.

Positions of detected objects in vehicle coordinates, specified as an M-by-2 real-valued matrix of (X, Y) positions. M is the number of detected objects. The positive X-direction points ahead of the center of the vehicle. The positive Y-direction points to the left of the origin of the vehicle, which is the center of the rear axle, as shown in this figure of the vehicle coordinate system.

Angles of rotation for object outlines, specified as an M-element real-valued vector, where M is the number of objects.

Lengths of object outlines, specified as an M-element real-valued vector, where M is the number of objects.

Widths of object outlines, specified as an M-element real-valued vector, where M is the number of objects.

Name-Value Pair Arguments

Specify optional comma-separated pairs of Name,Value arguments. Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name must appear inside quotes. You can specify several name and value pair arguments in any order as Name1,Value1,...,NameN,ValueN.

Example: 'Marker','x'

Rotational centers of rectangles relative to origin, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'OriginOffset' and an M-by-2 real-valued matrix. M is the number of objects. Each row corresponds to the rotational center about which to rotate the corresponding rectangle, specified as an (X,Y) displacement from the geometrical center of that rectangle.

Outline color, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'Color' and an M-by-3 matrix of RGB triplets. M is the number of objects. If you do not specify this argument, the function uses the default colormap for each object.

Example: 'Color',[0 0.5 0.75; 0.8 0.3 0.1]
