Orientation Sensor

A sensor that returns the forward, right, and up vectors for the sensor, in form of 3x3 matrix, in the global frame. If the sensor is in a socket other than the COM, the returned matrix will reflect the global orientation of the socket (the orientation of the vehicle plus the orientation offset from vehicle to the socket used).

Note

In our provided configurations that use this sensor, the sensor is in the IMU socket, which is oriented NED.

See OrientationSensor for the Python API and more details.

Example sensor definition:

    "sensor_type": "OrientationSensor",
    "socket": "IMUSocket",
