All the sensors use the UE coordinate system (__x__-*forward*, __y__-*right*, __z__-*up*), and return coordinates in local space. When using any visualization software, pay attention to its coordinate system. Many invert the Y-axis, so visualizing the sensor data directly may result in mirrored outputs.
This sensor registers an event each time its parent actor collisions against something in the world. Several collisions may be detected during a single simulation step.
To ensure that collisions with any kind of object are detected, the server creates "fake" actors for elements such as buildings or bushes so the semantic tag can be retrieved to identify it.

The camera provides a raw data of the scene codifying the distance of each pixel to the camera (also known as **depth buffer** or **z-buffer**) to create a depth map of the elements.
The image codifies depth value per pixel using 3 channels of the RGB color space, from less to more significant bytes: _R -> G -> B_. The actual distance in meters can be
The output [carla.Image](python_api.md#carla.Image) should then be saved to disk using a [carla.colorConverter](python_api.md#carla.ColorConverter) that will turn the distance stored in RGB channels into a __[0,1]__ float containing the distance and then translate this to grayscale.
There are two options in [carla.colorConverter](python_api.md#carla.ColorConverter) to get a depth view: __Depth__ and __Logaritmic depth__. The precision is milimetric in both, but the logarithmic approach provides better results for closer objects.

Registers an event each time its parent crosses a lane marking.
The sensor uses road data provided by the OpenDRIVE description of the map to determine whether the parent vehicle is invading another lane by considering the space between wheels.
However there are some things to be taken into consideration:
* Discrepancies between the OpenDRIVE file and the map will create irregularities such as crossing lanes that are not visible in the map.
* The output retrieves a list of crossed lane markings: the computation is done in OpenDRIVE and considering the whole space between the four wheels as a whole. Thus, there may be more than one lane being crossed at the same time.

The points are computed by adding a laser for each channel distributed in the vertical FOV. The rotation is simulated computing the horizontal angle that the Lidar rotated in a frame. The point cloud is calculated by doing a ray-cast for each laser in every step.
A LIDAR measurement contains a package with all the points generated during a `1/FPS` interval. During this interval the physics are not updated so all the points in a measurement reflect the same "static picture" of the scene.
This output contains a cloud of simulation points and thus, it can be iterated to retrieve a list of their [`carla.Location`](python_api.md#carla.Location):
The information of the LIDAR measurement is enconded 4D points. Being the first three, the space points in xyz coordinates and the last one intensity loss during the travel. This intensity is computed by the following formula.
`a` — Attenuation coefficient. This may depend on the sensor's wavelenght, and the conditions of the atmosphere. It can be modified with the LIDAR attribute `atmosphere_attenuation_rate`.
For a better realism, points in the cloud can be dropped off. This is an easy way to simulate loss due to external perturbations. This can done combining two different.
*__General drop-off__ — Proportion of points that are dropped off randomly. This is done before the tracing, meaning the points being dropped are not calculated, and therefore improves the performance. If `dropoff_general_rate = 0.5`, half of the points will be dropped.
*__Instensity-based drop-off__ — For each point detected, and extra drop-off is performed with a probability based in the computed intensity. This probability is determined by two parameters. `dropoff_zero_intensity` is the probability of points with zero intensity to be dropped. `dropoff_intensity_limit` is a threshold intensity above which no points will be dropped. The probability of a point within the range to be dropped is a linear proportion based on these two parameters.
Additionally, the `noise_stddev` attribute makes for a noise model to simulate unexpected deviations that appear in real-life sensors. For positive values, each point is randomly perturbed along the vector of the laser ray. The result is a LIDAR sensor with perfect angular positioning, but noisy distance measurement.
The rotation of the LIDAR can be tuned to cover a specific angle on every simulation step (using a [fixed time-step](adv_synchrony_timestep.md)). For example, to rotate once per step (full circle output, as in the picture below), the rotation frequency and the simulated FPS should be equal. <br>__1.__ Set the sensor's frequency `sensors_bp['lidar'][0].set_attribute('rotation_frequency','10')`. <br>__2.__ Run the simulation using `python3 config.py --fps=10`.

The sensor creates a conic view that is translated to a 2D point map of the elements in sight and their speed regarding the sensor. This can be used to shape elements and evaluate their movement and direction. Due to the use of polar coordinates, the points will concentrate around the center of the view.
Points measured are contained in [carla.RadarMeasurement](python_api.md#carla.RadarMeasurement) as an array of [carla.RadarDetection](python_api.md#carla.RadarDetection), which specifies their polar coordinates, distance and velocity.

This sensor integrates the [C++ Library for Responsibility Sensitive Safety](https://github.com/intel/ad-rss-lib) in CARLA. It is disabled by default in CARLA, and it has to be explicitly built in order to be used.
The RSS sensor calculates the RSS state of a vehicle and retrieves the current RSS Response as sensor data. The [carla.RssRestrictor](python_api.md#carla.RssRestrictor) will use this data to adapt a [carla.VehicleControl](python_api.md#carla.VehicleControl) before applying it to a vehicle.
These controllers can be generated by an *Automated Driving* stack or user input. For instance, hereunder there is a fragment of code from `PythonAPI/examples/rss/manual_control_rss.py`, where the user input is modified using RSS when necessary.
The blueprint for this sensor has no modifiable attributes. However, the [carla.RssSensor](python_api.md#carla.RssSensor) object that it instantiates has attributes and methods that are detailed in the Python API reference. Here is a summary of them.
| `ego_vehicle_dynamics` | [ad.rss.world.RssDynamics](<https://intel.github.io/ad-rss-lib/ad_rss/Appendix-ParameterDiscussion/>) | RSS parameters to be applied for the ego vehicle |

This sensor works fully on the client side. There is no blueprint in the server. Changes on the attributes will have effect __after__ the *listen()* has been called.
The methods available in this class are related to the routing of the vehicle. RSS calculations are always based on a route of the ego vehicle through the road network.
The sensor allows to control the considered route by providing some key points, which could be the [carla.Transform](python_api.md#carla.Transform) in a [carla.Waypoint](python_api.md#carla.Waypoint). These points are best selected after the intersections to force the route to take the desired turn.

This sensor simulates a rotating LIDAR implemented using ray-casting that exposes all the information about the raycast hit. Its behaviour is quite similar to the [LIDAR sensor](#lidar-sensor), but there are two main differences between them.
The points are computed by adding a laser for each channel distributed in the vertical FOV. The rotation is simulated computing the horizontal angle that the LIDAR rotated in a frame. The point cloud is calculated by doing a ray-cast for each laser in every step.
A LIDAR measurement contains a package with all the points generated during a `1/FPS` interval. During this interval the physics are not updated so all the points in a measurement reflect the same "static picture" of the scene.
This output contains a cloud of lidar semantic detections and therefore, it can be iterated to retrieve a list of their [`carla.SemanticLidarDetection`](python_api.md#carla.SemanticLidarDetection):
The rotation of the LIDAR can be tuned to cover a specific angle on every simulation step (using a [fixed time-step](adv_synchrony_timestep.md)). For example, to rotate once per step (full circle output, as in the picture below), the rotation frequency and the simulated FPS should be equal. <br>

This camera classifies every object in sight by displaying it in a different color according to its tags (e.g., pedestrians in a different color than vehicles).
When the simulation starts, every element in scene is created with a tag. So it happens when an actor is spawned. The objects are classified by their relative file path in the project. For example, meshes stored in `Unreal/CarlaUE4/Content/Static/Pedestrians` are tagged as `Pedestrian`.
The server provides an image with the tag information __encoded in the red channel__: A pixel with a red value of `x` belongs to an object with tag `x`.
This raw [carla.Image](python_api.md#carla.Image) can be stored and converted it with the help of __CityScapesPalette__ in [carla.ColorConverter](python_api.md#carla.ColorConverter) to apply the tags information and show picture with the semantic segmentation.

This camera classifies every object in the field of view both by class and also by instance ID.
When the simulation starts, every element in scene is created with a tag. So it happens when an actor is spawned. The objects are classified by their relative file path in the project. For example, meshes stored in `Unreal/CarlaUE4/Content/Static/Pedestrians` are tagged as `Pedestrian`.
The server provides an image with the tag information __encoded in the red channel__: A pixel with a red value of `x` belongs to an object with tag `x`. The green and blue values of the pixel define the object's unique ID. For example a pixel with an 8 bit RGB value of [10, 20, 55] is a vehicle (Semantic tag 10) with a unique instance ID `20-55`.

The provided script [`manual_control.py`][manual_control] uses the DVS camera in order to show how to configure the sensor, how to get the stream of events and how to depict such events in an image format, usually called event frame.
Note that due to the sampling method of the DVS camera, if there is no pixel difference between two consecutive synchronous frames the camera will not return an image. This will always occur in the first frame, as there is no previous frame to compare to and also in the event that there has been no movement between frames.
DVS is a camera and therefore has all the attributes available in the RGB camera. Nevertheless, there are few attributes exclusive to the working principle of an Event camera.

The Optical Flow camera captures the motion perceived from the point of view of the camera. Every pixel recorded by this sensor encodes the velocity of that point projected to the image plane. The velocity of a pixel is encoded in the range [-2,2]. To obtain the motion in pixel units, this information can be scaled with the image size to [-2 * image_size, 2 * image_size].
