Revision history [back]

Hi mister_kay,

first of all, wellcome to the ROS comunity. In order to start with you application, I'd first take a look at what drivers are already available in ROS. If I'm not mistaken, ptgrey Flea3 admits IIDC protocol, so maybe you can use the camera1394 driver, or tweak it a little bit so that you can use it with your ethernet camera, even if it's not firewire. Take a look here.

Check that you can get your images published as ROS topics. Once that's been done, then the rectificacion can be done with the node image_proc. Once you get these two nodes on, calibrate the camera with the camera calibrator and you'll be ready to rock with opencv. If you prefer, you can also rectify the images from opencv directly. It's your call.

Then, finally, for viso2 and viso2_ros follow the example launchfile. Another way to test viso2 is to download our bagfile (there a link in the wiki, if not, download it from here) and launcd the demo launchfile.
