selectLabelsBySignalName

R2026b

(To be removed) Select multisignal ground truth by signal name

selectLabelsBySignalName will be removed in a future release. Use the groundTruthMultiSensor (Point Cloud Toolbox) object instead. For information on updating your code, see Version History.

Syntax

gtLabel = selectLabelsBySignalName(gTruth,signalNames)

Description

gtLabel = selectLabelsBySignalName(gTruth,signalNames) selects labels for the signals specified by signalNames from a groundTruthMultisignal object, gTruth. The function returns a corresponding groundTruthMultisignal object, gtLabel, that contains only the selected labels. If gTruth is a vector of groundTruthMultisignal objects, then the function returns a vector of corresponding groundTruthMultisignal objects that contain only the selected labels.

Examples

Select Ground Truth Labels by Signal Name

Select ground truth labels from a groundTruthMultisignal object by specifying a signal name.

Load a groundTruthMultisignal object containing ROI and scene label data for a video and corresponding lidar point cloud sequence. The helper function used to load this object is attached to the example as a supporting file.

gTruth = helperLoadGTruthVideoLidar;

Warning: groundTruthMultiSignal will be removed in a future release.
Use the groundTruthMultiSensor instead. 

Inspect the ROI labels. The object contains labels for the lidar point cloud sequence and the video.

gTruth.ROILabelData

ans = 

  ROILabelData with properties:

    video_01_city_c2s_fcw_10s: [204×2 timetable]
                lidarSequence: [34×2 timetable]

Create a new groundTruthMultisignal object that contains labels for only the lidarSequence signal.

signalNames = "lidarSequence";
gtLabel = selectLabelsBySignalName(gTruth,signalNames);

For the original and new objects, inspect the first five rows of label data for the lidar point cloud sequence. The new object contains the same label data for the lidar sequence as the original object.

lidarLabels = gTruth.ROILabelData.lidarSequence;
lidarLabelsSelection = gtLabel.ROILabelData.lidarSequence;

numrows = 5;
head(lidarLabels,numrows)
head(lidarLabelsSelection,numrows)

Input Arguments

gTruth — Multisignal ground truth data

groundTruthMultisignal object | vector of groundTruthMultisignal objects

Multisignal ground truth data, specified as a groundTruthMultisignal object or vector of groundTruthMultisignal objects.

signalNames — Signal names

character vector | string scalar | cell array of character vectors | string vector

Signal names, specified as a character vector, string scalar, cell array of character vectors, or string vector.

To view all signal names in a groundTruthMultisignal object, gTruth, enter this command at the MATLAB^® command prompt.

gTruth.DataSource.SignalName

Example: 'lidarSequence'

Example: "lidarSequence"

Example: {'lidarSequence','imageSequence'}

Example: ["lidarSequence" "imageSequence"]

Output Arguments

gtLabel — Ground truth with only selected labels

groundTruthMultisignal object | vector of groundTruthMultisignal objects

Ground truth with only the selected labels, returned as a groundTruthMultisignal object or vector of groundTruthMultisignal objects.

Each groundTruthMultisignal object in gtLabel corresponds to a groundTruthMultisignal object in the gTruth input. The returned objects contain only the labels with signal names specified by the signalNames input.

Version History

Introduced in R2020a

R2026b: To be removed

The selectLabelsBySignalName object function will be removed in a future release. Use the groundTruthMultiSensor (Point Cloud Toolbox) object and its associated object functions instead.
