sampleUniform

Sample state using uniform distribution

collapse all in page

Syntax

state = sampleUniform(space)
state = sampleUniform(space,numSamples)
state = sampleUniform(space,nearState,distVector,numSamples)

Description

state = sampleUniform(space)samples a state within the bounds in the StateBounds property of the specified state space object space using a uniform probability distribution. For a stateSpaceSE3 object, the state variables corresponding to orientation are bound to a unit quaternion using a uniform distribution of random rotations.

example

state = sampleUniform(space,numSamples) returns a specified number of state samples numSamples within the bounds of the state space object.

state = sampleUniform(space,nearState,distVector,numSamples) samples states in a specified subregion defined by nearState and distVector. The center of the subregion is the nearState. distVector defines the distance from the two boundaries of the subregion to the center.

Note

The stateSpaceSE3 object does not support this syntax.

Input Arguments

collapse all

State space object, specified as a stateSpaceSE2, stateSpaceSE3, stateSpaceDubins, or stateSpaceReedsShepp object.

Number of samples, specified as a positive integer.

Data Types: single | double

Center of the sampling region, specified as a three-element vector of real values.

For the 2-D state space objects stateSpaceSE2, stateSpaceDubins, and stateSpaceReedsShepp, the state is a vector of form [x y theta], which defines the xy-position and orientation angle theta of a state in the state space.

Note

The stateSpaceSE3 object does not support this argument.

Data Types: single | double

Distance of sampling region boundary from the center, specified as a three-element vector of positive numbers.

For the 2-D state space objects stateSpaceSE2, stateSpaceDubins, and stateSpaceReedsShepp, the state is a vector of form [x y theta], which defines the xy-position and orientation angle theta of a state in the state space.

Note

The stateSpaceSE3 object does not support this argument.

Data Types: single | double

Output Arguments

collapse all

State samples, returned as an n-by-3 or n-by-7 matrix of real values. n is the number of samples.

For the 2-D state space objects stateSpaceSE2, stateSpaceDubins, and stateSpaceReedsShepp, each row is of form [x y theta], which defines the xy-position and orientation angle theta of the sampled states.

For the 3-D state space object stateSpaceSE3, each row is of form [x y z qw qx qy qz], which defines the xyz-position and quaternion orientation [qw qx qy qz] of the sampled states.

Data Types: single | double
