"""
UE4-Stereo -- continuous-velocity acquisition (Scenes 3 and 4).

Flies a closed-loop route in Unreal Engine 4.27 / Microsoft AirSim, recording
synchronized stereo RGB images, planar metric depth and 6-DoF poses.

Motion is driven by continuous velocity commands with the heading interpolated
along each segment and limited by a maximum yaw rate, so the vehicle never
stops at a waypoint. 

For the stop-and-rotate variant used in Scenes 1 and 2 see
`acquire_stepwise.py`. See README.md for the output format, the camera model
and the reference-frame conventions.

Example:
    python acquire_continuous.py --output scene_3/sequence01 \
        --route route_a_dir1 --baseline 0.24 --rate 10

Requires airsim, numpy and opencv-python, with the simulator already running.
