Detailed Description

Logical Camera Sensor Class.

A logical camera reports locations of objects. This camera finds models within the sensor's frustum and publishes information about the models on the sensor's topic.

Member Function Documentation

◆ AspectRatio()

double AspectRatio ( ) const

Get the aspect ratio, which is the width divided by height of the near or far planes.

Returns
The frustum's aspect ratio.

◆ Far()

double Far ( ) const

Get the far distance. This is the distance from the frustum's vertex to the farthest plane.

Returns
Far distance.

◆ HasConnections()

virtual bool HasConnections ( ) const
overridevirtual

Check if there are any subscribers.

Returns
True if there are subscribers, false otherwise

Reimplemented from Sensor.

◆ HorizontalFOV()

gz::math::Angle HorizontalFOV ( ) const

Get the horizontal field of view. The field of view is the angle between the frustum's vertex and the edges of the near or far plane. This value represents the horizontal angle.

Returns
The field of view.

◆ Image()

msgs::LogicalCameraImage Image ( ) const

Get the latest image. An image is an instance of msgs::LogicalCameraImage, which contains a list of detected models.

Returns
List of detected models.

◆ Init()

virtual bool Init ( )
overridevirtual

Initialize values in the sensor.

Returns
True on success

Reimplemented from Sensor.

◆ Load()

virtual bool Load ( sdf::ElementPtr  _sdf)
overridevirtual

Load the sensor with SDF parameters.

Parameters
[in]_sdfSDF Sensor parameters.
Returns
true if loading was successful

Reimplemented from Sensor.

◆ Near()

double Near ( ) const

Get the near distance. This is the distance from the frustum's vertex to the closest plane.

Returns
Near distance.

◆ SetModelPoses()

void SetModelPoses ( std::map< std::string, math::Pose3d > &&  _models)

Set the models currently in the world.

Parameters
[in]_modelsA map of model names to their world pose.

◆ Update() [1/3]

virtual bool Update ( const std::chrono::steady_clock::duration &  _now)
overridevirtual

Force the sensor to generate data.

Parameters
[in]_nowThe current time
Returns
true if the update was successfull

Implements Sensor.

◆ Update() [2/3]

virtual bool Update

Force the sensor to generate data.

This method must be overridden by sensors. Subclasses should not not make a decision about whether or not they need to update. The Sensor class will make sure Update() is called at the correct time.

If a subclass wants to have a variable update rate it should call SetUpdateRate().

A subclass should return false if there was an error while updating

Parameters
[in]_nowThe current time
Returns
true if the update was successfull
See also
SetUpdateRate()

◆ Update() [3/3]

bool Update

Update the sensor.

This is called by the manager, and is responsible for determining if this sensor needs to generate data at this time. If so, the subclasses' Update() method will be called.

Parameters
[in]_nowThe current time
[in]_forceForce the update to happen even if it's not time
Returns
True if the update was performed (_force was true or _now >= next_update_time or sensor had a pending trigger) and the sensor's bool Sensor::Update(std::chrono::steady_clock::time_point) function returned true. False otherwise.
Remarks
If forced the NextUpdateTime() will be unchanged.
