generateCheckerboardPoints

Generate checkerboard corner locations

Syntax

worldPoints = generateCheckerboardPoints(boardSize,squareSize)

Description

worldPoints = generateCheckerboardPoints(boardSize,squareSize) returns an M-by-2 matrix containing M [x, y] corner coordinates for the squares on a checkerboard. The point [0,0] corresponds to the lower-right corner of the top-left square of the board.

Examples

Generate and Plot Corners of an 8-by-8 Checkerboard

Generate the checkerboard, and obtain world coordinates.

    I = checkerboard;
    squareSize = 10;
    worldPoints = generateCheckerboardPoints([8 8], squareSize);

Offset the points, placing the first point at the lower-right corner of the first square.

    imshow(insertMarker(I, worldPoints + squareSize));

Input Arguments

boardSize — Generated checkerboard dimensions

2-element [height, width] vector

Generated checkerboard dimensions, specified as a 2-element [height, width] vector. You express the dimensions of the checkerboard in number of squares.

squareSize — Generated checkerboard square side length

scalar

Checkerboard square side length, specified as a scalar in world units. You express world units as a measurement, such as millimeters or inches.

Output Arguments

worldPoints — Generated checkerboard corner coordinates

M-by-2 matrix

Generated checkerboard corner coordinates, returned as an M-by-2 matrix of M number of [x y] coordinates. The coordinates represent the corners of the squares on the checkerboard. The point [0,0] corresponds to the lower-right corner of the top-left square of the board. The number of points, M, that the function returns are based on the number of squares on the checkerboard. This value is set with the boardSize parameter.

M = (boardSize(1)-1) * (boardSize(2)-1)
