Description

The Large Parking Lot scene is a 3D environment of a large parking lot that contains cones, curbs, traffic signs, and parked vehicles. The scene is rendered using RoadRunner.

Large Parking Lot scene

Setup

To simulate a driving algorithm in this scene:

  1. Add a Simulation 3D Scene Configuration block to your Simulink® model.

  2. In this block, set the Scene source parameter to Default Scenes.

  3. Set the enabled Scene name parameter to Large parking lot.

Open Live Script

Explore the 3D Large Parking Lot scene and inspect its dimensions by using a corresponding 2D top-view image of the scene.

You can use this image to inspect the scene before simulation and choose starting coordinates for vehicles. For details on using these images to select waypoints for path-following applications, see the Select Waypoints for Unreal Engine Simulation example.

Load the 2D spatial referencing object that corresponds to the scene. This imref2d object describes the relationship between the pixels in the image and the world coordinates of the scene.

data = load('sim3d_SpatialReferences.mat');
spatialRef = data.spatialReference.LargeParkingLot
spatialRef = 
  imref2d with properties:

           XWorldLimits: [-78.6000 72.6000]
           YWorldLimits: [-77.7000 73.5000]
              ImageSize: [5104 5104]
    PixelExtentInWorldX: 0.0296
    PixelExtentInWorldY: 0.0296
    ImageExtentInWorldX: 151.2000
    ImageExtentInWorldY: 151.2000
       XIntrinsicLimits: [0.5000 5.1045e+03]
       YIntrinsicLimits: [0.5000 5.1045e+03]

Display the image corresponding to the scene. Use the spatial referencing object to display the axes in the world coordinates of the scene. Units are in meters.

By default, the imshow function displays Y-axis values that increase from top to bottom. To align with the Automated Driving Toolbox™ world coordinate system, set the Y-direction to 'normal' so that Y-axis values increase from bottom to top.

Place a marker at the origin of the scene.

figure
fileName = 'sim3d_LargeParkingLot.jpg';
I = imshow(fileName,spatialRef);
set(gca,'YDir','normal')
xlabel('X (m)')
ylabel('Y (m)')

hold on
plot(0,0,'o','MarkerFaceColor','r','MarkerEdgeColor','k','MarkerSize',8)
offset = 3; % px
text(offset,offset,'(0,0)','Color','w','FontWeight','bold','FontSize',12)
hold off

Tips

  • If you have the Automated Driving Toolbox™ Interface for Unreal Engine® Projects support package, then you can modify this scene. In the Unreal Engine project file that comes with the support package, this scene is named LargeParkingLot.
