Hi all.

I have stumbled upon the 'logical camera' in gazebo and have been wondering if its possible to return greater detail about a model that the camera currently points at since I'm interested in finding out the material of the model/object it recognizes. I was thinking that if it was possible to return the links of a model then a simple look up table could be made for each model links name to its material. For example, typical worlds such as an office have many walls as part of its links but the logical camera only returns 'office' when it sees a wall, my aim is to know what wall (or more specifically the name of the wall) that it is recognising part of that office. Has anyone done something like this before or got any advice?

Thanks for any help!
