Fixes the issue where the web controller preview image lacked environmental context by adding trees, shrubs, and a traditional barn to the camera placeholder SVG.

Changes Made

Modified camera-placeholder.svg to add realistic tree, shrub, and barn elements to the simulated camera feed view:

  • Left side trees: Added 3 multi-layered trees with brown trunks and green foliage positioned on the left edge
  • Right side trees: Added 3 multi-layered trees on the right edge, mirroring the left side arrangement
  • Distant trees: Added 8 smaller trees in the background along the horizon line with 40% opacity to create depth
  • Shrubs: Added 11 shrub clusters scattered randomly across the ground area with varying sizes and shades of green
  • Traditional barn: Added a barn structure on the right side in the distance with brown body, red-brown triangular roof, large door with plank details, and a small window
  • Clear forward path: Ensured the center area remains unobstructed so the path forward is clearly visible

The vegetation and structures use natural earth-tone colors:

  • Dark green foliage (#3d6b1f, #4d7f29, #5a9033) with layered ellipses for volume
  • Brown trunks (#4a3520) for realistic appearance
  • Subtle opacity on distant trees for atmospheric perspective
  • Shrubs with multiple green shades for natural variation
  • Barn with brown/sienna structure (#8B4513) and red-brown roof (#722F0D) at 50% opacity to appear distant

Preview

The updated preview image now shows a complete rural outdoor scene with diverse vegetation and a traditional barn, while maintaining clear visibility of the camera icon and keeping the forward path unobstructed for operation:

The GitHub Actions workflow will automatically regenerate the preview PNG from the updated SVG when changes are pushed to the preview directory.

Added 11 shrub clusters scattered randomly across the ground and 4 additional distant trees, plus 1 mid-range tree on each side. The preview now shows much richer vegetation while keeping the center path clear.

Added a traditional barn on the right side in the distance. The barn features a brown structure with a triangular red-brown roof, large door with plank details, and a small window. It's rendered with 50% opacity to blend naturally with the distant background.
