newton.sensors.SensorTiledCamera#

class newton.sensors.SensorTiledCamera(model, *, config=None, load_textures=True)[source]#

Bases: object

Warp-based tiled camera sensor for raytraced rendering across multiple worlds.

Renders up to six image channels per (world, camera) pair:

color – RGBA shaded image (uint32).
hdr_color – linear shaded RGB image (vec3f).
depth – ray-hit distance [m] (float32); negative means no hit.
normal – surface normal at hit point (vec3f).
albedo – unshaded surface color (uint32).
shape_index – shape id per pixel (uint32).

All output arrays have shape (world_count, camera_count, height, width). Use the flatten_* helpers to rearrange them into tiled RGBA buffers for display, with one tile per (world, camera) pair laid out in a grid.

Shapes without the VISIBLE flag are excluded.

Example

sensor = SensorTiledCamera(model)
rays = sensor.utils.compute_pinhole_camera_rays(width, height, fov)
color = sensor.utils.create_color_image_output(width, height)

# After setup, build BVHs once for the initial state.
state = model.state()
newton.geometry.build_bvh_shape(model, state)
newton.geometry.build_bvh_particle(model, state)

# Before each later frame that changes geometry, refit BVHs.
newton.geometry.refit_bvh_shape(model, state)
newton.geometry.refit_bvh_particle(model, state)
sensor.update(state, camera_transforms, rays, color_image=color)

Parameters:

image (wp.array4d[wp.float32]) – Depth output from update(), shape (world_count, camera_count, height, width).
out_buffer (wp.array3d[wp.uint8] | None) – Pre-allocated RGBA buffer. If None, allocates a new one.

to_rgba_from_color(image)#

Reinterpret packed uint32 RGBA color sensor output as uint8 RGBA.

Returns a zero-copy view: each uint32 (R | G<<8 | B<<16 | A<<24) aliases 4 contiguous uint8 channels and the (world_count, camera_count) axes are flattened. The returned array shares memory with image; do not write into it.

The returned array plugs directly into log_image(). World is the slower-changing axis: tile i has world = i // camera_count and camera = i % camera_count.

Parameters:: image (wp.array(dtype=wp.uint32, ndim=4)) – Color sensor output, shape (world_count, camera_count, H, W), dtype uint32 (packed RGBA: R | G<<8 | B<<16 | A<<24). Must be contiguous; arrays returned by update() always satisfy this.
Returns:: Array of shape (world_count * camera_count, H, W, 4), dtype uint8, aliasing image.
Return type:: wp.array(dtype=wp.uint8, ndim=4)

to_rgba_from_depth(image, depth_range=None, out_buffer=None)#

Convert float32 depth sensor output to uint8 grayscale RGBA.

Closer pixels render brighter; miss pixels (depth <= 0; matches the default ClearData.clear_depth = 0.0 sentinel) render black. Alpha = 255.

Parameters:

depth_range (wp.array[wp.float32] | tuple[float, float] | None) – Optional (near, far) [m] for normalization. Accepts a 2-element wp.array[wp.float32] or a Python (near, far) tuple. If None, the per-frame range is computed on device by find_depth_range() (matches flatten_depth_image_to_rgba()).
out_buffer (wp.array4d[wp.uint8] | None) – Optional pre-allocated output of shape (world_count * camera_count, H, W, 4), dtype uint8.

Returns:

Array of shape (world_count * camera_count, H, W, 4), dtype uint8. Suitable for log_image().

colors (wp.array2d[wp.uint8] | None) – Optional RGB palette of shape (num_entries, 3), dtype uint8. If provided, each pixel is colored by looking up its shape index in this palette (indices past the palette length render black). If None, a deterministic hash palette is used (good for debugging which shape hit which pixel without a predefined class map).
out_buffer (wp.array4d[wp.uint8] | None) – Optional pre-allocated output of shape (world_count * camera_count, H, W, 4), dtype uint8.

Returns:

Array of shape (world_count * camera_count, H, W, 4), dtype uint8. Suitable for log_image().

sync_transforms(state)#

Synchronize triangle-mesh points from the simulation state.

Shape and particle BVHs on model must be built once via build_bvh_shape() and build_bvh_particle() before first use. Before later frames that change geometry, refit them via refit_bvh_shape() and refit_bvh_particle() prior to calling update().

Parameters:: state (newton.State) – The current simulation state containing particle positions.

update(state=None, camera_transforms=None, camera_rays=None, *, color_image=None, depth_image=None, shape_index_image=None, normal_image=None, albedo_image=None, clear_data=DEFAULT_CLEAR_DATA, refit_bvh=None, hdr_color_image=None)#

Render output images for all worlds and cameras.

Each output array has shape (world_count, camera_count, height, width) where element [world_id, camera_id, y, x] corresponds to the ray in camera_rays[camera_id, y, x]. Each output channel is optional – pass None to skip that channel’s rendering entirely.

Shape and particle BVHs on model must be built once for the initial state via build_bvh_shape() and build_bvh_particle() before first use. Before later frames that change geometry, refit them for state via refit_bvh_shape() and refit_bvh_particle() before calling this method.

refit_bvh (bool | None) – Refit the BVH before rendering. This is deprecated, use build_bvh_shape(), refit_bvh_shape(), build_bvh_particle(), and refit_bvh_particle() explicitly before calling this method instead.
hdr_color_image (wp.array4d[wp.vec3f] | None) – Output for linear HDR color. None to skip.

property render_config: RenderConfig#

Low-level raytrace settings on the internal RenderContext.

Populated at construction from Config and from fixed defaults (for example global world and shadow flags on the context). Attributes may be modified to change behavior for subsequent update() calls.

Returns:: The live RenderConfig instance (same object as render_context.config without triggering deprecation warnings).

property render_context: RenderContext#

Internal Warp raytracing context used by update() and buffer helpers.

Deprecated since version 1.1: Direct access is deprecated and will be removed. Prefer this class’s public methods, or render_config for RenderConfig access.

Returns:: The shared RenderContext instance.

property utils: Utils#: Utility helpers for creating output buffers, computing rays, and assigning materials/lights.
