Infrared camera cannot see model textures #4048

Bug report

What's the issue you encountered?

The infrared (IR) camera does not account for textures. I'm using ArUco markers in simulation and cannot use the IR images for my school work since it cannot see the texture itself.

I would it expect it to work similar to Gazebo's infrared camera.

Below are three screenshots showing the ArUco markers from a color image and IR image in AirSim, and then an infrared image from Gazebo.

How can the issue be reproduced?

  1. Input plane into Blocks environment
  2. Apply ArUco marker image as texture

Hi @blakermchale! Yes, currently, the infrared camera only works with meshes. See the docs. I will label this as a feature request. Thanks!
