Advanced camera sensor simulation

[Patrick Op]

I am trying to simulate a robot that relies on realistic camera sensors. Is Project Chrono able to simulate:

1. Orthographic projection for camera sensors

2. Limited depth of field (Objects going in and out of focus based on distance to the camera) for camera sensors

I can imagine it could be implemented without too much trouble, but I have little experience with Optix and Cuda, so I am wondering if a solution exists.

Kind regards,

Patrick

Hello,

1. We currently do not have an orthographic camera model. The currently available models are: Pinhole camera (which has a perspective view), a Field of View (FOV) Camera, and a Radial lens model, which models radial distortion.
2. We also do not currently simulate Depth of Field (DoF) artifacts in our camera model. 

These camera models and artifacts are something that we are planning on implementing in the future. Please let me know if there's anything else I can help with.

Best,

Nevindu
