Revision history [back]

You can first take a look at the sensors that are supported by sdformat. There you can find "camera", "depth_camera" and "multicamera". In the following example I am using "camera" and "depth_camera" to replicate the stereo camera functionality. I am not aware if "multicamera" is supported by ign gazebo and how you would use it, maybe someone else can add some more information about that.
