Algorithm (Workflow)
This function calculates the volume of a bounding box or a list of bounding boxes. It is part of the SolidGeometry library and was introduced in version 4.7.
Input Parameters
- BB: This represents the bounding boxes. It can be a single bounding box or a cell list of bounding boxes.
Output Results
- V: The calculated volume of the bounding box or bounding boxes.
Algorithm Steps
- Check if the input
BB is a SolidGeometry object using the function isSG(BB). If true, convert it to a bounding box using BBofSG(BB).
- If
BB is a cell array, convert it to a matrix using cell2mat(BB).
- Calculate the volume
V using the formula:
(BB(:,2)-BB(:,1)) * (BB(:,4)-BB(:,3)) * (BB(:,6)-BB(:,5))
This formula computes the product of the differences between the corresponding coordinates of the bounding box, representing the length, width, and height.
