Vision sensors, which can detectrenderableentities(Renderable objects are objects that can be seen or detected by vision sensors), should be used over proximity sensors mainly when color, light or structure plays a role in the detection process. However, depending on the graphic card the application is running on, or on the complexity of the scene objects, vision sensors might be a little bit slower than proximity sensors. Following illustrates applications using vision sensors:
[(1) industrial robot observed by 2 vision sensors, (2) Line tracer vehicle equipped with 3 vision sensors]
视觉传感器与摄像机都能显示场景中的图像但是也存在着区别(一个侧重视觉检测和处理,一个侧重场景显示):
A vision sensor has a fixed resolution. A camera has no specific resolution (i.e. it adjusts automatically to the view size).
A vision sensor's image content can be accessed vi
