plotLaneMarking

Display lane markings on bird’s-eye plot

Description

example

plotLaneMarking(lmPlotter,lmv,lmf) displays lane marking vertices, lmv, and lane marking faces, lmf, on a bird's-eye plot. The lane marking plotter, lmPlotter, is associated with a birdsEyePlot object and configures the display of the specified lane markings.

To remove all lane markings associated with the lane marking plotter lmPlotter, call the clearData function and specify lmPlotter as the input argument.

Examples

Create a driving scenario containing a car and pedestrian on a straight road. Then, create and display the lane markings of the road on a bird's-eye plot.

Create an empty driving scenario.

scenario = drivingScenario;

Create a straight, 25-meter road segment with two travel lanes in one direction.

lm = [laneMarking('Solid')
      laneMarking('Dashed','Length',2,'Space',4)
      laneMarking('Solid')];
l = lanespec(2,'Marking',lm);
road(scenario,[0 0 0; 25 0 0],'Lanes',l);

Add to the driving scenario a pedestrian crossing the road at 1 meter per second and a car following the road at 10 meters per second.

ped = actor(scenario,'ClassID',4,'Length',0.2,'Width',0.4,'Height',1.7);
car = vehicle(scenario,'ClassID',1);
smoothTrajectory(ped,[15 -3 0; 15 3 0],1);
smoothTrajectory(car,[car.RearOverhang 0 0; 25-car.Length+car.RearOverhang 0 0],10);

Display the scenario and corresponding chase plot.

plot(scenario)

chasePlot(car)

Run the simulation.

  1. Create a bird's-eye plot.

  2. Create an outline plotter, lane boundary plotter, and lane marking plotter for the bird's-eye plot.

  3. Obtain the road boundaries and target outlines.

  4. Obtain the lane marking vertices and faces.

  5. Display the lane boundaries and lane markers.

  6. Run the simulation loop.

bep = birdsEyePlot('XLim',[-25 25],'YLim',[-10 10]);
olPlotter = outlinePlotter(bep);
lbPlotter = laneBoundaryPlotter(bep);
lmPlotter = laneMarkingPlotter(bep,'DisplayName','Lanes');
legend('off');
while advance(scenario)
    rb = roadBoundaries(car);
    [position,yaw,length,width,originOffset,color] = targetOutlines(car);
    [lmv,lmf] = laneMarkingVertices(car);
    plotLaneBoundary(lbPlotter,rb);
    plotLaneMarking(lmPlotter,lmv,lmf);
    plotOutline(olPlotter,position,yaw,length,width, ...
        'OriginOffset',originOffset,'Color',color);
end

Input Arguments

collapse all

Lane marking plotter, specified as a LaneMarkingPlotter object. This object is stored in the Plotters property of a birdsEyePlot object and configures the display of the specified lane markings in the bird's-eye plot. To create this object, use the laneMarkingPlotter function.

Lane marking vertices, specified as a V-by-3 real-valued matrix. Each row of lmv represents the x, y, and z coordinates of one vertex in the lane marking. The plotter uses only the x and y coordinates. V is the number of vertices in the marking.

To obtain lane marking vertices and faces from a driving scenario, use the laneMarkingVertices function.

Lane marking faces, specified as an integer-valued matrix. Each row of lmf is a face that defines the connection between vertices for one lane marking.

To obtain lane marking vertices and faces from a driving scenario, use the laneMarkingVertices function.
