updateSensors

Update sensor readings in UAV scenario

Since R2020b

    Description

    updateSensors(scene) updates all sensor readings based on latest states of all platforms in the UAV scenario, scene.

    Examples

    collapse all

    Create a UAV scenario and set its local origin.

    scene = uavScenario("UpdateRate",200,"StopTime",2,"ReferenceLocation",[46, 42, 0]); 

    Add an inertial frame called MAP to the scenario.

    scene.addInertialFrame("ENU","MAP",trvec2tform([1 0 0])); 

    Add one ground mesh and two cylindrical obstacle meshes to the scenario.

    scene.addMesh("Polygon", {[-100 0; 100 0; 100 100; -100 100],[-5 0]},[0.3 0.3 0.3]);
    scene.addMesh("Cylinder", {[20 10 10],[0 30]}, [0 1 0]); 
    scene.addMesh("Cylinder", {[46 42 5],[0 20]}, [0 1 0], "UseLatLon", true); 

    Create a UAV platform with a specified waypoint trajectory in the scenario. Define the mesh for the UAV platform.

    traj = waypointTrajectory("Waypoints", [0 -20 -5; 20 -20 -5; 20 0 -5],"TimeOfArrival",[0 1 2]); 
    uavPlat = uavPlatform("UAV",scene,"Trajectory",traj); 
    updateMesh(uavPlat,"quadrotor", {4}, [1 0 0],eul2tform([0 0 pi])); 
    addGeoFence(uavPlat,"Polygon", {[-50 0; 50 0; 50 50; -50 50],[0 100]},true,"ReferenceFrame","ENU"); 

    Attach an INS sensor to the front of the UAV platform.

    insModel = insSensor(); 
    ins = uavSensor("INS",uavPlat,insModel,"MountingLocation",[4 0 0]); 

    Visualize the scenario in 3-D.

    ax = show3D(scene); 
    axis(ax,"equal"); 

    Simulate the scenario.

    setup(scene); 
    while advance(scene) 
        % Update sensor readings 
        updateSensors(scene); 
    
        % Visualize the scenario 
        show3D(scene,"Parent",ax,"FastUpdate",true); 
        drawnow limitrate 
    end 

    Input Arguments
