Abstract
A method of simulating a quadcopter includes recording camera output for one or more video cameras under constant conditions and subtracting a constant signal from the recorded camera output to obtain a camera noise recording. Simulated camera noise is generated from the camera noise recording and is added to a plurality of simulated camera outputs of a quadcopter simulator to generate noise-added simulated camera outputs. The noise-added simulated camera outputs are sent to an Artificial Intelligence (AI) controller coupled to the quadcopter simulator for the AI controller to use to pilot a simulated quadcopter of the quadcopter simulator.
