load calibration file

edit

Hi there,

I would like to calibrate (extrinsically) a Webcam to my Kinect. For that I need the rectified image of the webcam (usb_cam/image_rect). To get that I calibrated the camera like this tutorial and got a ost.txt. I converted this txt file to yaml and saved it. I use following commands the get the rectified image to run

$ roslaunch usb_cam high.launch

In another tab:

$ ROS_NAMESPACE=usb_cam rosrun image_proc image_proc

And then to receive the rectified image

$ rosrun image_view image_view image:=/usb_cam/image_rect

But when I subscribe to the rectified image I just get

[ERROR] [1356567364.021643621]: Rectified topic '/usb_cam/image_rect' requested but camera publishing '/usb_cam/camera_info' is uncalibrated

My launchfile looks like this:

<launch>
    <node name="usb_cam" pkg="usb_cam" type="usb_cam_node" output="screen">
       <param name="video_device" value="/dev/video0" />
        <param name="image_width" value="1920" /> #max: 2304
        <param name="image_height" value="1080" /> #max: 1536
        <param name="pixel_format" value="mjpeg" />
        <param name="camera_frame_id" value="webcam" />
        <param name="camera_info_url" type="string" value="file://$(find usb_cam)/usb_cam.yaml" />

    </node>
</launch>

My calibration file like this:

image_width: 1920
image_height: 1080
camera_name: usb_cam

  rows: 3

EDIT 1:

I saw that the usb_cam package doesn't use the Camera_Info_Manager. Could that be the reason why the calibration file has no effect? I tried now to insert the calibration parameter directly in the launch file like this. But still no changes....

<param name="D" type="string" value="-0.0834232 0.120545 -0.0023918 0.0175383 0 "/>
<param name="K" type="string" value="578.252 0 350.204 0 575.115 207.606 0 0 1 "/>
<param name="R" type="string" value="1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 "/>
<param name="P" type="string" value="578.252 0 350.204 0 0 575.115 207.606 0 0 0 1 0 "/>

but still without a change. This is the output for $ rostopic echo /usb_cam/camera_info
