initialize

Initialize state for algorithm execution (optional)

Syntax

initialize(algObj,frame)

initialize(algObj,frame,labelsToAutomate)

Description

The initialize method initializes the state of the automation algorithm before the automation algorithm runs.

Clients of AutomationAlgorithm can optionally implement this method.

initialize(algObj,frame) initializes the state of the algObj automation algorithm using the first frame in the time interval of the data being labeled.

Clients of AutomationAlgorithm must implement this user-defined method.

initialize(algObj,frame,labelsToAutomate) additionally provides a table, labelsToAutomate, that contains labels selected for the automation algorithm to use for labeling. This syntax does not support pixel label automation. In addition, this syntax is available only for time-dependent (temporal) automation algorithms. The Ground Truth Labeler (requires Automated Driving Toolbox™) and Video Labeler apps support temporal algorithms but the Image Labeler does not. For more information on these types of algorithms, see Temporal Automation Algorithms.

Input Arguments

algObj — Automation algorithm

vision.labeler.AutomationAlgorithm object

Automation algorithm, specified as a vision.labeler.AutomationAlgorithm object.

frame — Frame corresponding to start of time interval

numeric matrix | pointCloud object

Frame corresponding to the start of time interval, specified as a numeric matrix for Image signals or a pointCloud object for PointCloud signals.

labelsToAutomate — Labels selected for automation

table

Labels selected for automation, specified as a table with these columns.

Column Name	Description
Type	labelType enumeration that contains the type of the label. Valid label types are: labelType.Rectangle labelType.Cuboid (Ground Truth Labeler app only) labelType.Line labelType.Scene labelType.PixelLabel and labelType.Custom are not supported.
Name	Character vector that contains the name of the label.
Time	Scalar of type double that specifies the time, in seconds, when the label was marked.
Position	Location of the label in the frame. The format of this vector depends on the label type. Label Type Position Format Rectangle — Rectangular region of interest (ROI) label 1-by-4 numeric vector of the form [x, y, w, h], where: x and y specify the upper-left corner of the rectangle. w specifies the width of the rectangle, which is the length of the rectangle along the x-axis. h specifies the height of the rectangle, which is the length of the rectangle along the y-axis. Cuboid — Cuboid ROI label 1-by-9 numeric vector of the form [xctr, yctr, zctr, xlen, ylen, zlen, xrot, yrot, zrot], where: xctr, yctr, and zctr specify the center of the cuboid. xlen, ylen, and zlen specify the length of the cuboid along the x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis, respectively. xrot, yrot, and zrot specify the rotation angles for the cuboid along the x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis, respectively. These angles are clockwise-positive when looking in the forward direction of their corresponding axes. This figure shows how these values specify the position of a cuboid. Line — Polyline ROI label N-by-2 numeric matrix of the form [x1 y1; x2 y2; ... ; xN yN] for N points in the polyline. Scene — Scene label []

Each row of the table corresponds to a label selected for automation. This labelsToAutomate table contains a rectangle label, a line label with five points, and a cuboid label.
