Revision history [back]

I asked the same question 3 years ago (see here), but I'm not aware of a plugin available that implements a (somewhat) realistic error model. It however appears doable to take the "perfect" depth image provided by Gazebo inside a plugin and then apply a error model to it to generate more realistic data.
