[Robotics] Virtual camera resolution

[Gilberto Echeverria]

Hi Koen,

I assume your question is regarding a camera in the Game Engine.
As Severin said, we are using the VideoTexure module to simulate the 
cameras. It is indeed possible to change the resolution of the images 
produced. To do so, you can follow this procedure:

    matID = VideoTexture.materialID(screen, texture_name)
    display = VideoTexture.Texture(screen, matID)
    display.source = VideoTexture.ImageRender(scene,camera)
    # Define an image size.
    display.source.capsize = [Image_Size_X, Image_Size_Y]

I haven't made enough tests, but I think using an arbitrary resolution 
can reduce the framerate. It is advisable to use power of two sizes for 
the resolution.

You can find some more information about the VideoTexture module here:

Hope this helps.
