Physical setup for collecting tod_training data?

I wonder how to collect tod_training data? From a previous question I know that we should be able use

roslaunch tod_training record_openni.launch bag:=pwd/awesome.bag interval:=0.5

Unfortunately, the tutorial about recording a training bag is empty. I wonder how to setup our environment. We need fiducial markers rigidly attached to a rotating table and in between these markers, we place an object, correct? Is it enough to create a setup as shown on the picture?

  • Must the print size of the fiducial markers have a certain size?
  • Are there any crucial aspects I have to be aware of in my preparation?

As collection of training data can be time-consuming and needs hardware, I want to make sure we're on the right track before starting the attempt.

Yes.

Yes.

Must the print size of the fiducial markers have a certain size?

No. You can use different markers (different cells count, size, etc). But you should change fiducial configuration file (fiducial.yaml) for your markers.

Are there any crucial aspects I have to be aware of in my preparation?

I think no. You should only write bag file with object rotation.

Alexander, our understanding is that ./bin/fiducial program in pkg fiducial generates that fiducial.yaml file. However, the question is how do we get in the description of 2 checkerboards as done in the following file: http://vault.willowgarage.com/wgdata1/vol1/tod_kinect_bags/training/fiducial.yml?
