Input Arguments

collapse all

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

Start state for interpolation, specified as a three-element or seven-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.

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

Data Types: single | double

End state for interpolation, specified as a three-element or seven-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.

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

Data Types: single | double

Interpolation ratio, specified as a scalar in the range of [0, 1], or an n-element column vector of values in the range [0, 1]. n is the number of desired interpolation points.

Data Types: single | double

Output Arguments

collapse all

Interpolated states, returned as an n-by-3 or n-by-7 matrix of real values. n is the number of interpolation points specified by the ratio input argument.

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 interpolated 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 interpolated states.
