Infrared Camera Support

[reza-shahriari]

Hi Isaac-Sim team,
I hope this message finds you well. I'm a user of ISAAC Sim and have been really impressed with the quality and capabilities of the software.
I wanted to request the addition of infrared camera support as a feature. This would be incredibly valuable for robotics simulations involving thermal sensing, night vision applications, and various autonomous systems that rely on IR sensors.
Best regards,
Reza

Thank you for the suggestion! Could you provide more details about the specific infrared camera models or types you’re interested in simulating with Isaac Sim? For example, are you looking to simulate thermal imaging sensors, near-infrared cameras, or particular hardware brands? Knowing your use case or target hardware would help us better understand your requirements and explore more realistic or relevant simulation features.

Looking forward to your input!

While all of these features have merit, thermal imaging would likely provide the greatest value. I'm curious whether the IR camera could support configurable parameters such as field of view, similar to what we have with standard TV cameras.
Another highly desirable capability would be adjustable wavelength sensing. This would enable us to simulate various infrared bands including LWIR (Long-Wave Infrared), SWIR (Short-Wave Infrared), and other spectral ranges
