First a camera pose is sampled according to the configuration, then it is checked if the pose is valid.

- Checking if the scene coverage/interestingness score is above a configured threshold
- Checking if a candidate pose is sufficiently different than the sampled poses so far

**Properties per cam pose**:
.. list-table::
:widths: 25 100 10
:header-rows: 1
* - Parameter
- Description
- Type
* - number_of_samples
- The number of camera poses that should be sampled. Note depending on some constraints (e.g. interest
scores), the sampler might not return all of the camera poses if the number of tries exceeded the
configured limit. Default: 1.
- int
* - max_tries
- The maximum number of tries that should be made to sample the requested number of cam poses per interest
score. Default: 10000.
- int
* - sqrt_number_of_rays
- The square root of the number of rays which will be used to determine, if there is an obstacle in front
of the camera. Default: 10.
- int
* - proximity_checks
- A dictionary containing operators (e.g. avg, min) as keys and as values dictionaries containing
thresholds in the form of {"min": 1.0, "max":4.0} or just the numerical threshold in case of max or min.
The operators are combined in conjunction (i.e boolean AND). This can also be used to avoid the
background in images, with the no_background: True option. Default: {}.
- dict
* - excluded_objs_in_proximity_check
- A list of objects, returned by getter.Entity to remove some objects from the proximity checks defined in
'proximity_checks'. Default: []
- list
* - min_interest_score
- Arbitrary threshold to discard cam poses with less interesting views. Default: 0.0.
- float
* - interest_score_range
- The maximum of the range of interest scores that would be used to sample the camera poses. Interest
score range example: min_interest_score = 0.8, interest_score_range = 1.0, interest_score_step = 0.1
interest score list = [1.0, 0.9, 0.8]. The sampler would reject any pose with score less than 1.0. If
max tries is reached, it would switch to 0.9 and so on. min_interest_score = 0.8, interest_score_range =
0.8, interest_score_step = 0.1 (or any value bigger than 0) interest score list = [0.8]. Default:
min_interest_score.
- float
* - interest_score_step
- Step size for the list of interest scores that would be tried in the range from min_interest_score to
interest_score_range. Must be bigger than 0. " Default: 0.1.
- float
* - special_objects
- Objects that weights differently in calculating whether the scene is interesting or not, uses the
coarse_grained_class or if not SUNCG, 3D Front, the category_id. Default: [].
- list
* - special_objects_weight
- Weighting factor for more special objects, used to estimate the interestingness of the scene. Default:
2.0.
- float
* - check_pose_novelty_rot
- Checks that a sampled new pose is novel with respect to the rotation component. Default: False
- bool
* - check_pose_novelty_translation
- Checks that a sampled new pose is novel with respect to the translation component. Default: False.
- bool
* - min_var_diff_rot
- Considers a pose novel if it increases the variance of the rotation component of all poses sampled by
this parameter's value in percentage. If set to -1, then it would only check that the variance is
increased. Default: sys.float_info.min.
- float
* - min_var_diff_translation
- Same as min_var_diff_rot but for translation. If set to -1, then it would only check that the variance
is increased. Default: sys.float_info.min.
- float
* - check_if_pose_above_object_list
- A list of objects, where each camera has to be above, could be the floor or a table. Default: [].
- list
* - check_if_objects_visible
- A list of objects, which always should be visible in the camera view. Default: [].

"""
A general camera sampler.
First a camera pose is sampled according to the configuration, then it is checked if the pose is valid.
If that's not the case a new camera pose is sampled instead.
Supported cam pose validation methods:
- Checking if the distance to objects is in a configured range
- Checking if the scene coverage/interestingness score is above a configured threshold
- Checking if a candidate pose is sufficiently different than the sampled poses so far
Example 1: Sampling 10 camera poses.

* - Parameter
- Description
- Type
* - intrinsics
- A dict which contains the intrinsic camera parameters. Check CameraInterface for more info. Default:
{}.
- dict
* - cam_poses
- Camera poses configuration list. Each cell contains a separate config data.
- list
* - default_cam_param
- A dict which can be used to specify properties across all cam poses. Check CameraInterface for more
info. Default: {}.
- dict
**Properties per cam pose**:
.. list-table::
:widths: 25 100 10
:header-rows: 1
* - Parameter
- Description
- Type
* - number_of_samples
- The number of camera poses that should be sampled. Note depending on some constraints (e.g. interest
scores), the sampler might not return all of the camera poses if the number of tries exceeded the
configured limit. Default: 1.
- int
* - max_tries
- The maximum number of tries that should be made to sample the requested number of cam poses per interest
score. Default: 100000000.
- int
* - sqrt_number_of_rays
- The square root of the number of rays which will be used to determine, if there is an obstacle in front
of the camera. Default: 10.
- int
* - proximity_checks
- A dictionary containing operators (e.g. avg, min) as keys and as values dictionaries containing
thresholds in the form of {"min": 1.0, "max":4.0} or just the numerical threshold in case of max or min.
The operators are combined in conjunction (i.e boolean AND). This can also be used to avoid the
background in images, with the no_background: True option. Default: {}.
- dict
* - excluded_objs_in_proximity_check
- A list of objects, returned by getter.Entity to remove some objects from the proximity checks defined in
'proximity_checks'. Default: []
- list
* - min_interest_score
- Arbitrary threshold to discard cam poses with less interesting views. Default: 0.0.
- float
* - interest_score_range
- The maximum of the range of interest scores that would be used to sample the camera poses. Interest
score range example: min_interest_score = 0.8, interest_score_range = 1.0, interest_score_step = 0.1
interest score list = [1.0, 0.9, 0.8]. The sampler would reject any pose with score less than 1.0. If
max tries is reached, it would switch to 0.9 and so on. min_interest_score = 0.8, interest_score_range =
0.8, interest_score_step = 0.1 (or any value bigger than 0) interest score list = [0.8]. Default:
min_interest_score.
- float
* - interest_score_step
- Step size for the list of interest scores that would be tried in the range from min_interest_score to
interest_score_range. Must be bigger than 0. " Default: 0.1.
- float
* - special_objects
- Objects that weights differently in calculating whether the scene is interesting or not, uses the
coarse_grained_class or if not SUNCG, 3D Front, the category_id. Default: [].
- list
* - special_objects_weight
- Weighting factor for more special objects, used to estimate the interestingness of the scene. Default:
2.0.
- float
* - check_pose_novelty_rot
- Checks that a sampled new pose is novel with respect to the rotation component. Default: False
- bool
* - check_pose_novelty_translation
- Checks that a sampled new pose is novel with respect to the translation component. Default: False.
- bool
* - min_var_diff_rot
- Considers a pose novel if it increases the variance of the rotation component of all poses sampled by
this parameter's value in percentage. If set to -1, then it would only check that the variance is
increased. Default: sys.float_info.min.
- float
* - min_var_diff_translation
- Same as min_var_diff_rot but for translation. If set to -1, then it would only check that the variance
is increased. Default: sys.float_info.min.
- float
* - check_if_pose_above_object_list
- A list of objects, where each camera has to be above, could be the floor or a table. Default: [].
- list
* - check_if_objects_visible
- A list of objects, which always should be visible in the camera view. Default: [].
