"""How a cheap webcam renders the scene: auto-exposure, white balance, exposure, gamma, contrast, saturation, vignetting, blur, sensor noise and JPEG compression (UVC webcams stream MJPEG). Parameters are drawn per camera per episode from [webcam] in phase2_config.toml; the noise is drawn per frame. Auto-exposure sets one gain per episode from the first frame (mean brightness to a drawn target), as a webcam settles on a scene; the exposure jitter then over- or under-exposes around it. Applied to the rendered image before the red and blue squares, which are drawn on the captured frame. The policy evaluation in simulation uses the same code, so it sees what training saw.
