This module defines the data structures for gate detection within the aerosim_drone simulation environment. It handles spatial data, gate classification, and collection of active detections.

Enumerations

GateType

Defines the physical shape of the detected gate.

• Square (0): Standard square racing gate.
• Cone (1): Obstacle or marker cone.
• EmptySquare (2): Hollow square frame.
• Arc (3): Curved/Arc-shaped gate.

GateColor

Defines the visual color of the gate.

• Red (0): Red colored gate.
• Green (1): Green colored gate.
