Parameters

ParameterTypeDefaultDescription
datanp.ndarray | list | tupleRequiredPlanar poses with shape (N, 3), with one [x, y, yaw] row per pose. yaw is expressed in degrees.

Raises

ExceptionCondition
TypeErrordata can't be converted to float32 (e.g. non-numeric elements)
ValueErrordata is not rank-2, or its last axis isn't length 3
ValueErrordata contains a non-finite value (NaN/Inf)

Attributes

AttributeTypeDescription
datanp.ndarrayDefensive copy of the underlying (N, 3) float32 array. Assigning a new value re-validates it the same way as construction.
shapetuple[int, ...](N, 3), where N is the batch size.
ndimintAlways 2.
dtypenp.dtypeAlways float32.
sizeintN * 3.
positionsnp.ndarrayPositions, shape (N, 2) — a copy of data[:, 0:2].
orientationsnp.ndarrayOrientations (yaw) in degrees, shape (N, 1) — a copy of data[:, 2:3].

Methods

MethodTypeDescription
Poses2D.coerce(value)Poses2DConverts array-like data into a Poses2D. Accepts an (N, 3) array-like, one [x, y, yaw] row per pose, checked the same way as the constructor. If value is already a Poses2D, it is returned unchanged.
to_numpy(copy=True)np.ndarrayReturns the poses' coordinates as a plain array. With the default copy=True you get an independent copy; pass copy=False to get a direct reference to the internal array instead, so mutating it also mutates the Poses2D.
copy()Poses2DReturns a new, independent Poses2D with the same data.

Operators

OperationBehavior
p == otherTrue only if other is also a Poses2D with element-equal data (same N, same values). False for anything else.
len(p)The batch size N (length of the first axis).
poses[i]Returns a Pose2D for an integer index (negative indices supported). Raises IndexError if out of range.
poses[a:b] / poses[mask]Returns a new Poses2D holding the matched rows, for a slice or a boolean np.ndarray mask. Any other index type raises TypeError.
for p in posesIterates via __getitem__ (the old-style sequence protocol), yielding one Pose2D per row in order.
np.asarray(p)Returns a copy of data as an np.ndarray; NumPy functions accept a Poses2D directly.

Visualization

python
import rerun as rr

# Your code block
# ....

rr.init("poses2d_example", spawn=True)
datatypes.visualize(poses, entity_path="/poses", label="Poses2D")
