addAttribute

Add attributes to label or sublabel in label definition creator object for multisignal workflow

Syntax

addAttribute(ldc,labelName,attributeName,typeOfAttribute,attributeDefault)

addAttribute(___,Name,Value)

Description

addAttribute(ldc,labelName,attributeName,typeOfAttribute,attributeDefault) adds an attribute with specified name and type to the indicated label or sublabel. The attribute is added under the hierarchy for the specified label or sublabel in the labelDefinitionCreatorMultisignal object ldc.

addAttribute(___,Name,Value) specifies options using one or more name-value pair arguments in addition to the input arguments in the previous syntax.

Examples

Add Attributes to Label and Sublabel in Label Definition Creator Object for Multisignal Workflow

Create an empty labelDefinitionCreatorMultisignal object.

ldc = labelDefinitionCreatorMultisignal;

Add a label with the name 'Car'. Specify the type of label as 'Rectangle'. Adding a 'Rectangle' also adds a 'Cuboid' entry to the label definitions table.

addLabel(ldc,'Car','Rectangle');

Add an attribute 'Color' to the label 'Car'. Specify the attribute type as 'String' with the value 'Red'.

addAttribute(ldc,'Car','Color','String','Red')

Add a label with the name 'TrafficLight'. Specify the type of the label as 'Rectangle'. Add a description to the label.

addLabel(ldc,'TrafficLight','Rectangle','Description','Bounding boxes for stop signs');

Add a sublabel with the name 'RedLight' to the label 'TrafficLight'. Specify the type of the sublabel as 'Rectangle'.

addSublabel(ldc,'TrafficLight','RedLight','Rectangle');

Add an attribute 'isOn' to the sublabel 'RedLight' in the label 'TrafficLight'. Specify the attribute type for the sublabel as 'logical' with the value false.

addAttribute(ldc,'TrafficLight/RedLight','isOn','logical',false);

Display the details of the updated labelDefinitionCreatorMultisignal object.

ldc

ldc = 
labelDefinitionCreatorMultisignal contains the following labels:

	Car with 0 sublabels and 1 attributes and belongs to None group.	(info)
	TrafficLight with 1 sublabels and 0 attributes and belongs to None group.	(info)

For more details about attributes and sublabels, use the info method.

Display information about the attribute under the label 'Car' using the object function info.

info(ldc,'Car')

           Name: "Car"
     SignalType: Image
      LabelType: Rectangle
          Group: "None"
     LabelColor: {''}

     LabelColor: {''}
     Attributes: "Color"
      Sublabels: []
    Description: ' '

Display information about the attribute under the label 'TrafficLight' using the object function info.

info(ldc,'TrafficLight')

           Name: "TrafficLight"
     SignalType: Image
      LabelType: Rectangle
          Group: "None"
     LabelColor: {''}
     Attributes: []
      Sublabels: "RedLight"

     LabelColor: {''}
     Attributes: []
      Sublabels: "RedLight"
    Description: 'Bounding boxes for stop signs'

Display information about the attribute under the sublabel 'RedLight' in the label 'TrafficLight' using the object function info.

info(ldc,'TrafficLight/RedLight')

           Name: "RedLight"
           Type: Rectangle
     LabelColor: ''
     Attributes: "isOn"
      Sublabels: []
    Description: ' '

Display information about the attribute 'isOn' under the sublabel 'RedLight' in the label 'TrafficLight' using the object function info.

info(ldc,'TrafficLight/RedLight/isOn')

            Name: "isOn"
            Type: Logical
    DefaultValue: 0
     Description: ' '

Input Arguments

ldc — Label definition creator for multisignal workflow

labelDefinitionCreatorMultisignal object

Label definition creator for the multisignal workflow, specified as a labelDefinitionCreatorMultisignal object.

labelName — Label or sublabel name

character vector | string scalar

Label or sublabel name, specified as a character vector or string scalar that uniquely identifies the label or sublabel to which the attribute is to be added.

• To specify a label, use the form 'labelName'.

Example: addAttribute(ldc,'Car','Color')

• To specify a sublabel, use the form 'labelName/sublabelName'. In this case, the attribute associates with the sublabel.

Example: addAttribute(ldc,'TrafficLight/RedLight','isOn')

attributeName — Attribute name

character vector | string scalar

Attribute name, specified as a character vector or string scalar that identifies the attribute to be added to the label or sublabel.

typeOfAttribute — Type of attribute

attributeType enumeration | character vector | string scalar

Type of attribute, specified as one of these values:

• attributeType enumeration — The type of the attribute must be one of these attributeType enumerators: Numeric, Logical, String, or List.

Example: addAttribute(ldc,'Car','Color',attributeType.String,'Red');

• Character vector or string scalar — This value must partially or fully match one of the enumerators in the attributeType enumeration.

Example: addAttribute(ldc,'Car','Color','Str','Red');

attributeDefault — Default value of attribute

numeric scalar | logical scalar | character vector | string scalar | cell array of character vectors | cell array of string scalars

Default value of the attribute, specified as one of these:

• Numeric scalar — Specify this value when typeOfAttribute is Numeric.

• Logical scalar — Specify this value when typeOfAttribute is Logical.

• Character vector or string scalar — Specify this value when typeOfAttribute is String.

• Cell array of character vectors or cell array of string scalars — Specify this value when typeOfAttribute is List. The first entry in the cell array is the default value.

Name-Value Pair Arguments

Specify optional comma-separated pairs of Name,Value arguments. Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name must appear inside quotes. You can specify several name and value pair arguments in any order as Name1,Value1,...,NameN,ValueN.

Example: addAttribute(ldc,'Car/Wheel','Outsidediameter',attributeType.Numeric,740,'Description','Outside diameter in mm');

'Description' — Attribute description

' ' (default) | character vector | string scalar

Attribute description, specified as a comma-separated pair consisting of 'Description' and a character vector or string scalar. Use this name-value pair to describe the attribute.
