## carla.Actor CARLA defines actors as anything that plays a role in the simulation or can be moved around. That includes: pedestrians, vehicles, sensors and traffic signs (considering traffic lights as part of these). Actors are spawned in the simulation by [carla.World](#carla.World) and they need for a [carla.ActorBlueprint](#carla.ActorBlueprint) to be created. These blueprints belong into a library provided by CARLA, find more about them [here](bp_library.md).

Instance Variables

- **attributes** (_dict_) A dictionary containing the attributes of the blueprint this actor was based on. - **id** (_int_) Identifier for this actor. Unique during a given episode. - **is_alive** (_bool_) Returns whether this object was destroyed using this actor handle. - **parent** (_[carla.Actor](#carla.Actor)_) Actors may be attached to a parent actor that they will follow around. This is said actor. - **semantic_tags** (_list(int)_) A list of semantic tags provided by the blueprint listing components for this actor. E.g. a traffic light could be tagged with "pole" and "traffic light". These tags are used by the semantic segmentation sensor. Find more about this and other sensors [here](ref_sensors.md#semantic-segmentation-camera). - **type_id** (_str_) The identifier of the blueprint this actor was based on, e.g. "vehicle.ford.mustang".

All this information is managed internally and listed here for a better comprehension of how CARLA works.

Instance Variables

- **Bool** - **Int** - **Float** - **String** - **RGBColor** --- ## carla.ActorBlueprint CARLA provides a blueprint library for actors that can be consulted through [carla.BlueprintLibrary](#carla.BlueprintLibrary). Each of these consists of an identifier for the blueprint and a series of attributes that may be modifiable or not. This class is the intermediate step between the library and the actor creation. Actors need an actor blueprint to be spawned. These store the information for said blueprint in an object with its attributes and some tags to categorize them. The user can then customize some attributes and eventually spawn the actors through [carla.World](#carla.World).

Instance Variables

- **id** (_str_) The identifier of said blueprint inside the library. E.g. `walker.pedestrian.0001`. - **tags** (_list(str)_) A list of tags each blueprint has that helps describing them. E.g. `['0001', 'pedestrian', 'walker']`.

The list is automatically created and updated by the server and it can be returned using [carla.World](#carla.World).

Methods

- **filter**(**self**, **wildcard_pattern**) Filters a list of Actors matching `wildcard_pattern` against their variable **type_id** (which identifies the blueprint used to spawn them).

When spawning actors, these can be attached to another actor so their position changes accordingly. This is specially useful for sensors. [Here](ref_code_recipes.md#attach-sensors-recipe) is a brief recipe in which we can see how sensors can be attached to a car when spawned. Note that the attachment type is declared as an enum within the class.

Instance Variables

- **Rigid** With this fixed attatchment the object follow its parent position strictly. This is the recommended attachment to retrieve precise data from the simulation. - **SpringArm** An attachment that expands or retracts the position of the actor, depending on its parent. This attachment is only recommended to record videos from the simulation where a smooth movement is needed. SpringArms are an Unreal Engine component so [check this out](ref_code_recipes.md#attach-sensors-recipe) to learn some more about them.
Warning: The SpringArm attachment presents weird behaviors when an actor is spawned with a relative translation in the Z-axis (e.g. child_location = Location(0,0,2)). --- ## carla.BlueprintLibrary A class that contains the blueprints provided for actor spawning. Its main application is to return [carla.ActorBlueprint](#carla.ActorBlueprint) objects needed to spawn actors. Each blueprint has an identifier and attributes that may or may not be modifiable. The library is automatically created by the server and can be accessed through [carla.World](#carla.World). [Here](bp_library.md) is a reference containing every available blueprint and its specifics.

Bounding boxes normally act for object colliders. Check out this [recipe](ref_code_recipes.md#debug-bounding-box-recipe) where the user takes a snapshot of the world and then proceeds to draw bounding boxes for traffic lights.

Instance Variables

- **extent** (_[carla.Vector3D](#carla.Vector3D)_) Vector from the center of the box to one vertex. The value in each axis equals half the size of the box for that axis. `extent.x * 2` would return the size of the box in the X-axis. - **location** (_[carla.Location](#carla.Location)_) The center of the bounding box relative to its parent actor.

Methods

- **\__init__**(**self**, **location**, **extent**) - **Parameters:** - `location` (_[carla.Location](#carla.Location)_) – Point to center the box. - `extent` (_[carla.Vector3D](#carla.Vector3D)_) – Vector containing half the size of the box for every axis. - **contains**(**self**, **world_point**, **transform**) Returns **True** if a point passed in world space is inside this bounding box. - **Parameters:** - `world_point` (_[carla.Location](#carla.Location)_) – The point in world space to be checked. - `transform` (_[carla.Transform](#carla.Transform)_) – Contains location and rotation needed to convert this object's local space to world space. - **Return:** _bool_

Both server and client contain a CARLA library (libcarla) with some differences that allow communication between them. Many clients can be created and each of these will connect to the RPC server inside the simulation to send commands. The simulation runs server-side. Once the connection is established, the client will only receive data retrieved from the simulation. Walkers are the exception. The client is in charge of managing pedestrians so, if you are running a simulation with multiple clients, some issues may arise. For example, if you spawn walkers through different clients, collisions may happen, as each client is only aware of the ones it is in charge of. The client also has a recording feature that saves all the information of a simulation while running it. This allows the server to replay it at will to obtain information and experiment with it. [Here](adv_recorder.md) is some information about how to use this recorder.

Used by sensor.camera.semantic_segmentation. - **Depth** Converts the image to a linear depth map. Used by sensor.camera.depth. - **LogarithmicDepth** Converts the image to a depth map using a logarithmic scale, leading to better precision for small distances at the expense of losing it when further away. - **Raw** No changes applied to the image. --- ## carla.DVSEvent Class that defines a DVS event. An event is a quadruple, so a tuple of 4 elements, with `x`, `y` pixel coordinate location, timestamp `t` and polarity `pol` of the event. Learn more about them [here](ref_sensors.md).

Instance Variables

- **x** (_int_) X pixel coordinate. - **y** (_int_) Y pixel coordinate. - **t** (_int_) Timestamp of the moment the event happened. - **pol** (_bool_) Polarity of the event. __True__ for positive and __False__ for negative.

Therefore some attributes depend on the waypoint that is consulting the landmark and so, creating the object.

Instance Variables

Sensors compound a specific family of actors quite diverse and unique. They are normally spawned as attachment/sons of a vehicle (take a look at [carla.World](#carla.World) to learn about actor spawning). Sensors are thoroughly designed to retrieve different types of data that they are listening to. The data they receive is shaped as different subclasses inherited from [carla.SensorData](#carla.SensorData) (depending on the sensor). Most sensors can be divided in two groups: those receiving data on every tick (cameras, point clouds and some specific sensors) and those who only receive under certain circumstances (trigger detectors). CARLA provides a specific set of sensors and their blueprint can be found in [carla.BlueprintLibrary](#carla.BlueprintLibrary). All the information on their preferences and settlement can be found [here](ref_sensors.md), but the list of those available in CARLA so far goes as follow. Receive data on every tick. - [Depth camera](ref_sensors.md#depth-camera). - [Gnss sensor](ref_sensors.md#gnss-sensor). - [IMU sensor](ref_sensors.md#imu-sensor). - [Lidar raycast](ref_sensors.md#lidar-raycast-sensor). - [SemanticLidar raycast](ref_sensors.md#semanticlidar-raycast-sensor). - [Radar](ref_sensors.md#radar-sensor). - [RGB camera](ref_sensors.md#rgb-camera). - [RSS sensor](ref_sensors.md#rss-sensor). - [Semantic Segmentation camera](ref_sensors.md#semantic-segmentation-camera).

Inherited from _[carla.TrafficSign](#carla.TrafficSign)_

A traffic light actor, considered a specific type of traffic sign. As traffic lights will mostly appear at junctions, they belong to a group which contains the different traffic lights in it. Inside the group, traffic lights are differenciated by their pole index. Within a group the state of traffic lights is changed in a cyclic pattern: one index is chosen and it spends a few seconds in green, yellow and eventually red. The rest of the traffic lights remain frozen in red this whole time, meaning that there is a gap in the last seconds of the cycle where all the traffic lights are red. However, the state of a traffic light can be changed manually. Take a look at this [recipe](ref_code_recipes.md#traffic-lights-recipe) to learn how to do so.

Inherited from _[carla.Actor](#carla.Actor)_

This class inherits from the [carla.Actor](#carla.Actor) and defines pedestrians in the simulation. Walkers are a special type of actor that can be controlled either by an AI ([carla.WalkerAIController](#carla.WalkerAIController)) or manually via script, using a series of [carla.WalkerControl](#carla.WalkerControl) to move these and their skeletons.

Instance Variables

- **bounding_box** (_[carla.BoundingBox](#carla.BoundingBox)_) The walker's collider defined by a bounding box.

Methods

- **apply_control**(**self**, **control**) On the next tick, the control will move the walker in a certain direction with a certain speed. Jumps can be commanded too. - **Parameters:** - `control` (_[carla.WalkerControl](#carla.WalkerControl)_) - **apply_control**(**self**, **control**) On the next tick, the control defines a list of bone transformations that will be applied to the walker's skeleton. - **Parameters:** - `control` (_[carla.WalkerBoneControl](#carla.WalkerBoneControl)_)

Dunder methods
- **\__str__**(**self**) --- ## carla.WalkerAIController
Inherited from _[carla.Actor](#carla.Actor)_

Class that conducts AI control for a walker. The controllers are defined as actors, but they are quite different from the rest. They need to be attached to a parent actor during their creation, which is the walker they will be controlling (take a look at [carla.World](#carla.World) if you are yet to learn on how to spawn actors). They also need for a special blueprint (already defined in [carla.BlueprintLibrary](#carla.BlueprintLibrary) as "controller.ai.walker"). This is an empty blueprint, as the AI controller will be invisible in the simulation but will follow its parent around to dictate every step of the way.

Methods

- **go_to_location**(**self**, **destination**) Sets the destination that the pedestrian will reach. - **Parameters:** - `destination` (_[carla.Location](#carla.Location)_) - **start**(**self**) Enables AI control for its parent walker. - **stop**(**self**) Disables AI control for its parent walker.
Setters
- **set_max_speed**(**self**, **speed**=1.4) Sets a speed for the walker in meters per second. - **Parameters:** - `speed` (_float_) – speed in m/s. An easy walking speed is set by default.
Dunder methods
- **\__str__**(**self**) --- ## carla.WalkerBoneControl This class grants bone specific manipulation for walker. The skeletons of walkers have been unified for clarity and the transform applied to each bone are always relative to its parent. Take a look [here](tuto_G_control_walker_skeletons.md) to learn more on how to create a walker and define its movement.

Instance Variables

- **bone_transforms** (_list([name,transform])_) List of tuples where the first value is the bone's name and the second value stores the transformation (changes in location and rotation) that will be applied to it.

Methods

- **\__init__**(**self**, **list(name,transform)**) Intializes an object containing moves to be applied on tick. These are listed with the name of the bone and the transform that will be applied to it. - **Parameters:** - `list(name,transform)` (_tuple_)
Dunder methods
- **\__str__**(**self**) --- ## carla.WalkerControl This class defines specific directions that can be commanded to a [carla.Walker](#carla.Walker) to control it via script. The walker's animations will blend automatically with the parameters defined in this class when applied, though specific skeleton moves can be obtained through class.WalkerBoneControl. AI control can be settled for walkers, but the control used to do so is [carla.WalkerAIController](#carla.WalkerAIController).

Instance Variables

They store a certain [carla.Transform](#carla.Transform) which locates the waypoint in a road and orientates it according to the lane. They also store the road information belonging to said point regarding its lane and lane markings. All of this information is retrieved as provided by the OpenDRIVE file.

Instance Variables

- **id** (_int_) The identificator is generated using a hash combination of the road, section, lane and s values that correspond to said point in the OpenDRIVE geometry. The s precision is set to 2 centimeters, so 2 waypoints closer than 2 centimeters in the same road, section and lane, will have the same identificator. - **transform** (_[carla.Transform](#carla.Transform)_) Position and orientation of the waypoint according to the current lane information. This data is computed the first time it is accessed. It is not created right away in order to ease computing costs when lots of waypoints are created but their specific transform is not needed. - **road_id** (_int_) OpenDRIVE road's id. - **section_id** (_int_) OpenDRIVE section's id, based on the order that they are originally defined. - **lane_id** (_int_) OpenDRIVE lane's id, this value can be positive or negative which represents the direction of the current lane with respect to the road.

Methods

- **next**(**self**, **distance**) Returns a list of waypoints at a certain approximate `distance` from the current one. It takes into account the road and its possible deviations without performing any lane change and returns one waypoint per option. The list may be empty if the lane is not connected to any other at the specified distance. - **Parameters:** - `distance` (_float_) – The approximate distance where to get the next waypoints. - **Return:** _list([carla.Waypoint](#carla.Waypoint))_ - **next_until_lane_end**(**self**, **distance**) Returns a list of waypoints from this to the end of the lane separated by a certain `distance`. - **Parameters:** - `distance` (_float_) – The approximate distance between waypoints. - **Return:** _list([carla.Waypoint](#carla.Waypoint))_ - **previous**(**self**, **distance**) This method does not return the waypoint previously visited by an actor, but a list of waypoints at an approximate `distance` but in the opposite direction of the lane.

Dunder methods
- **\__str__**(**self**) --- ## carla.WeatherParameters This class defines objects containing lighting and weather specifications that can later be applied in [carla.World](#carla.World). So far, these conditions only intervene with [sensor.camera.rgb](ref_sensors.md#rgb-camera). They neither affect the actor's physics nor other sensors. Each of these parameters acts indepently from the rest. Increasing the rainfall will not automatically create puddles nor change the road's humidity. That makes for a better customization but means that realistic conditions need to be scripted. However an example of dynamic weather conditions working realistically can be found [here](https://github.com/carla-simulator/carla/blob/master/PythonAPI/examples/dynamic_weather.py).

Instance Variables

- **cloudiness** (_float_) Values range from 0 to 100, being 0 a clear sky and 100 one completely covered with clouds. - **precipitation** (_float_) Rain intensity values range from 0 to 100, being 0 none at all and 100 a heavy rain. - **precipitation_deposits** (_float_) Determines the creation of puddles. Values range from 0 to 100, being 0 none at all and 100 a road completely capped with water. Puddles are created with static noise, meaning that they will always appear at the same locations. - **wind_intensity** (_float_) Controls the strenght of the wind with values from 0, no wind at all, to 100, a strong wind. The wind does affect rain direction and leaves from trees, so this value is restricted to avoid animation issues. - **sun_azimuth_angle** (_float_) The azimuth angle of the sun in degrees. Values range from 0 to 360. Zero is an origin point in a sphere determined by Unreal Engine. - **sun_altitude_angle** (_float_) Altitude angle of the sun in degrees. Values range from -90 to 90 corresponding to midnight and midday each. - **fog_density** (_float_) Fog concentration or thickness. It only affects the RGB camera sensor. Values range from 0 to 100. - **fog_distance** (_float_) Fog start distance (in meters). Values range from 0 to infinite. - **wetness** (_float_) Wetness intensity. It only affects the RGB camera sensor. Values range from 0 to 100. - **fog_falloff** (_float_) Density of the fog (as in specific mass) from 0 to infinity. The bigger the value, the more dense and heavy it will be, and the fog will reach smaller heights. Corresponds to Fog Height Falloff in the UE docs.
If the value is 0, the fog will be lighter than air, and will cover the whole scene.
A value of 1 is approximately as dense as the air, and reaches normal-sized buildings.
For values greater than 5, the air will be so dense that it will be compressed on ground level.
