Gazebo Sensors, a component of Gazebo, provides numerous sensor models designed to generate realistic data from simulation environments. Gazebo Sensors is used in conjunction with Gazebo Libraries, and especially relies on the rendering capabilities from Gazebo Rendering and physics simulation from Gazebo Physics.
Table of Contents
Features
Gazebo Sensors provides a set of sensors models that can be configured at run time to mimic specific real-world sensors. A noise model is also provided that can be used to introduce Gaussian or custom noise models into sensor streams.
