Stereo Labs ZED 2 Simulation Gazebo Plugin

Software ROS1

HI ,

I am building a VIO package for a UAV with Stereo Labs Zed 2 Camera, right now Intel T265 Depth Camera Plugin is available.

Any possibility of a Gazebo Plugin for the Zed 2 Camera?

A lot of users are asking for it, but there is not a simple way to integrate the ZED SDK in a Gazebo plugin using Gazebo virtual stereo image streams as an input.
We are studying a way to create a plugin for Gazebo and other simulators, but there is not a scheduled timeline for its release.

Hi @Myzhar, any updates on this. I was planning to create simulation model in Isaac Sim.

Hi @marmik18
welcome to the Stereolabs community.

We have exciting news related to this topic that we will be announcing very soon. Please stay tuned for more information.

Hi @Myzhar are there any updates regarding this announcement?

We released a plugin for Isaac Sim: ZED Isaac Sim Extension Overview - Stereolabs

Hi @Myzhar Do we have any updates for an Ignition (Gazebo) Fortress plugin? If not, then can you suggest me how I can best replicate a pre-existing plugin for simulation purposes? I have a ZED2 camera.

Gazebo support is not on our roadmap for the moment.
We will consider supporting it as soon as simulation image quality will improve to allow us to extract depth maps with the same quality we do with real images.
