Syntax

model = cylinderModel(params)

Description

Object for storing a parametric cylinder model.

Construction

model = cylinderModel(params) constructs a parametric cylinder model from the 1-by-7 params input vector that describes a cylinder.

Input Arguments

expand all

Cylinder parameters, specified as a 1-by-7 scalar vector containing seven parameters [x1,y1,z1,x2,y2,z2,r] that desribe a cylinder.

  • [x1,y1,z1] and [x2,y2,z2] are the centers of each end-cap surface of the cylinder.

  • r is the radius of the cylinder.

Properties

expand all

These properties are read-only.

Cylinder model parameters, stored as a 1-by-7 scalar vector that describes a cylinder [x1,y1,z1,x2,y2,z2,r] that describe a cylinder.

  • [x1,y1,z1] and [x2,y2,z2] are the centers of each end-cap surface of the cylinder.

  • r is the radius of the cylinder.

Center of cylinder, stored as a 1-by-3 vector.

Height of cylinder, stored as a scalar.

Radius of cylinder, stored as a scalar.

title('Detect a Cylinder in a Point Cloud')

Set the maximum point-to-cylinder distance (5 mm) for the cylinder fitting.

maxDistance = 0.005;

Set the region of interest to constrain the search.

roi = [0.4,0.6;-inf,0.2;0.1,inf];
sampleIndices = findPointsInROI(ptCloud,roi);

Set the orientation constraint.

referenceVector = [0,0,1];

Detect the cylinder in the point cloud and extract it.

model = pcfitcylinder(ptCloud,maxDistance,referenceVector,...
        'SampleIndices',sampleIndices);

Plot the cylinder.
