Using WPILib Pose Estimation, Simulation, and PhotonVision Together
The following example comes from the PhotonLib example repository (Java/C++/Python). Full code is available at that links.
Knowledge and Equipment Needed
- Everything required in {ref}
Combining Aiming and Getting in Range <docs/examples/aimandrange:Knowledge and Equipment Needed>, plus some familiarity with WPILib pose estimation functionality.
Background
This example demonstrates integration of swerve drive control, a basic swerve physics simulation, and PhotonLib's simulated vision system functionality.
Walkthrough
Estimating Pose
The {code}Drivetrain class includes functionality to fuse multiple sensor readings together (including PhotonVision) into a best-guess of the pose on the field.
Please reference the WPILib documentation on using the {code}SwerveDrivePoseEstimator class.
We use the 2024 game's AprilTag Locations:

During periodic execution, we read back camera results. If we see AprilTags in the image, we calculate the camera-measured pose of the robot and pass it to the {code}Drivetrain.

Simulating the Camera
First, we create a new {code}VisionSystemSim to represent our camera and coprocessor running PhotonVision, and moving around our simulated field.
