Hi,
When I add a vision sensor object on a scene, it is oriented with the x-axis towards left and y-axis upward, but I would like to put in the conventional orientation used in literature (i.e., x-axis on the right and y-axis downward). So, I change the orientation of the sensor by rotation around the z-axis of 180°. However, this results in a flipped image, because the image plane rotates with the sensor, and I need to restore its original view programmatically (e.g., using the function `cv::flip` of OpenCV libraries). I wonder if there is a way to change the default orientation of the vision sensor, and avoid to explicitly handle the image view in my code.
Thank you

Hello,

you cannot change the way the reference frame of a vision sensor is oriented. But you can always build the vision sensor on top of a dummy object with the orientation you wish. Then, instead of reading/writing the position/orientation of the vision sensor, read/write the position/orientation of the dummy instead.

Cheers
