    Syntax

    grad = gradient(mTSDF,points)
    grad = gradient(mTSDF,points,InterpolationMethod=interp)

    Description

    grad = gradient(mTSDF,points) returns the gradient computed from distance values in the vicinity of the specified query points in the truncated signed distance field (TSDF).

    grad = gradient(mTSDF,points,InterpolationMethod=interp) specifies the method to use for interpolating the distance field.

    Input Arguments

    collapse all

    Truncated signed distance field for 3-D meshes, specified as a meshtsdf object.

    Example: meshtsdf(meshes,TruncationDistance=5) creates a TSDF for the specified meshes with a truncation distance of 5 meters.

    Query points, specified as an N-by-3 matrix, where each row represents an xyz point. N is the total number of query points.

    Interpolation method, specified as one of these options:

    • "linear" — Compute the partial derivatives of the trilinearly interpolated distance field.

    • "quadratic" — Compute the partial derivatives of the triquadratically interpolated distance field.

    Output Arguments

    collapse all

    Gradient value of the voxel at each query point, returned as an N-element vector. N is the total number of query points specified in points.

    By default, gradient uses the linear interpolation method to determine the gradient. Use the interp argument to change the interpolation method.
