Choose a Sensor for Unreal Engine Simulation

In UAV Toolbox, you can obtain high-fidelity sensor data from a virtual environment. This environment is rendered using the Unreal Engine® from Epic Games®.

The table summarizes the sensor blocks that you can simulate in this environment.

Sensor BlockDescriptionVisualizationExample

Simulation 3D Camera

  • Camera with lens that is based on the ideal pinhole camera. See What Is Camera Calibration? (Computer Vision Toolbox)

  • Includes parameters for image size, focal length, distortion, and skew

  • Includes options to output ground truth for depth estimation and semantic segmentation

Display camera images by using a Video Viewer (Computer Vision Toolbox) or To Video Display (Computer Vision Toolbox) block.
