get_raw_vision(fly_name)
¶
Render the fly's eye cameras and return fisheye-corrected frames.
Certain body parts are invisible to the eye cameras to avoid self-occlusion, as
configured in flygym/assets/model/neuromechfly/vision.yaml. These geoms are assigned to
geom group 2, which is rendered by the MuJoCo renderer by default, but the eye
renderer within FlyGym is configured to ignore this geom group.
