Syntax

gtLabel = selectLabelsByType(gTruth,labelTypes)

Description

gtLabel = selectLabelsByType(gTruth,labelTypes) selects labels of the types specified by labelTypes from a groundTruth object, gTruth. The function returns a corresponding groundTruth object, gtLabel, that contains only the selected labels. If gTruth is a vector of groundTruth objects, then the function returns a vector of corresponding groundTruth objects that contain only the selected labels.

Input Arguments

collapse all

Ground truth, specified as a groundTruth object or vector of groundTruth objects.

Label types, specified as a labelType enumeration or vector of labelType enumerations.

To view all label types in a groundTruth object, gTruth, enter this command at the MATLAB® command prompt.

unique(gTruth.LabelDefinitions.Type)

Example: labelType.Rectangle

Example: [labelType.Rectangle labelType.Line]

Output Arguments

collapse all

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

Each groundTruth object in gtLabel corresponds to a groundTruth object in the gTruth input. The returned objects contain only the labels that are of the types specified by the labelTypes input.

Limitations

  • Selecting sublabels by type is not supported.
