panoramic view

Hello

I'm hoping to simulate a robot equipped with a panoramic camera, but couldn't find mention of this in the sections on visual sensors or cameras. Is there any support, or suggestions for how to approach this?

Thanks, John.

Hi

Please have a look at the script attached to components->sensors-> spherical vision sensor
The spherical vision sensor is supported via the plugin v_repExtVision, which exports a custom Lua function: simExtVision_handleSpherical (see further down for the documentation of this function). The source code of the plugin is located in V-REP's programming folder, and you can freely adapt it. If you add some specific filter or other useful feature to that plugin, let us know, so that we can add it too.
Hope it helps

Cheers

Eric
