RGB Data from LIDAR via getLidarData() #3758

Open fkaufm opened 3 years ago

What feature are you suggesting?

Overview:

Via python api and getLidarData() one can acquire XYZ coordinates and Segmentation IDs of hit objects. However, many LIDAR Sensors can capture RGB values per point, too. How about adding this functionality to AirSim?

Smaller Details:

Nature of Request:

Why would this feature be useful?

Simulating LIDAR sensors for training data in ML is a common application for AirSim. To do so, RGB values must be captured from textures in AirSim to provide realistic training data.
