selectLabelsByGroup

R2026b

(To be removed) Select ground truth data by label group name

selectLabelsByGroup will be removed in a future release. Use the groundTruthMultiSensor object instead. For information on updating your code, see Version History.

Syntax

gtLabel = selectLabelsByGroup(gTruth,labelGroups)

Description

gtLabel = selectLabelsByGroup(gTruth,labelGroups) selects ground truth data with the specified label group names labelGroups from a groundTruthLidar object gTruth. The function returns a corresponding groundTruthLidar object gtLabel that contains only the selected labels. If gTruth is a vector of groundTruthLidar objects, then the function returns a vector of corresponding groundTruthLidar objects that contain only the selected labels.

Open Live Script

Load a groundTruthLidar object containing multiple labels of groups, types and names.

load('lidarLabelerGtruth.mat')

Inspect the label definitions. The object contains two label definitions in a 'vehicle' group. Ungrouped labels are in the group named 'None'.

Create a new groundTruthLidar object that contains only the label definitions in the group 'Vehicle' group.

groupNames = 'vehicle';
gtLidarLabel = selectLabelsByGroup(gTruth,groupNames)
gtLidarLabel = 
  groundTruthLidar with properties:

          DataSource: [1×1 vision.labeler.loading.PointCloudSequenceSource]
    LabelDefinitions: [2×5 table]
           LabelData: [4×2 timetable]

View the labels returned by the function.

Input Arguments

collapse all

Ground truth lidar data, specified as a groundTruthLidar object or vector of groundTruthLidar objects.

Label group names, specified as a character vector, string scalar, cell array of character vectors, or vector of strings.

To view all distinct label group names in a groundTruthLidar object, enter this command at the MATLAB® command prompt.

unique(gTruth.LabelDefinitions.Group)

Example: 'Vehicles'

Example: "Vehicles"

Example: {'Vehicles','Signs'}

Example: ["Vehicles" "Signs"]

Output Arguments

collapse all

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

Each groundTruthLidar object in the gtLabel output corresponds to a groundTruthLidar object in the gTruth input. The returned objects contain only those labels from the input ground truth objects that are of the label groups specified by the labelGroup input.
