findPointsInROI

Find points within a region of interest in the point cloud

Syntax

indices = findPointsInROI(ptCloud,roi)

Description

indices = findPointsInROI(ptCloud,roi) returns the points within a region of interest (ROI) in the input point cloud. The points within the specified ROI are obtained using a Kd-tree based search algorithm. This function requires a Computer Vision Toolbox™ license.

Note

The object functions of the pointCloud object require Computer Vision Toolbox

Input Arguments

ptCloud — Point cloud

pointCloud object

Point cloud, specified as a pointCloud object.

roi — Region of interest

six-element vector of form [xmin xmax ymin ymax zmin zmax]

Region of interest, specified as a six-element vector of form [xmin xmax ymin ymax zmin zmax], where:

• xmin and xmax are the minimum and the maximum limits along the x-axis respectively.

• ymin and ymax are the minimum and the maximum limits along the y-axis respectively.

• zmin and zmax are the minimum and the maximum limits along the z-axis respectively.

Output Arguments

indices — Indices of stored points

column vector

Indices of stored points, returned as a column vector. The vector contains the linear indices of the ROI points stored in the point cloud.
