Hi, I use gazebo 2.2 with ROS package tum_simulator. This is a package with simulator of quadrotor AR Parrot Drone.

I had thought that bottom camera is not working and only front camera is OK, but I noticed that image from bottom camera don't display ground but sky. (strange)

Please check this screen: http://snag.gy/L5Riw.jpg

This is a world from Gazebo and two windows from rviz. Left image is a view from bottom camera :( and right image is a view from front camera. Black shape near window of the house is quadrotors' model.

Have you ever heard abut this problem? Any ideas?

I notice that when I run this node I got some errors, I hope that this is a reason of problems with camera.

Please help.

It was an issue with the orientation of the bottom camera on a urdf file (@green96 found the issue). You can look here for more information.

Thank you for your response :) Could you tell me, do this errors on start have any influence? I find some info that upgrading sdformat will help and resolve it. I don't understand why

sudo apt-get install libsdformat2-dev

doesn't work. There is second option to install if from source but according to this site when I do what is in Prerequisites (on this site) I will get rid of sdformat which I have now and other ROS packages like:

  gazebo2 libsdformat-dev libsdformat1 ros-indigo-desktop-full
  ros-indigo-gazebo-plugins ros-indigo-gazebo-ros ros-indigo-gazebo-ros-pkgs
  ros-indigo-simulators
