Possible to split combined stereo cameras (Arducam etc)? #116

Open JesseCake opened 3 years ago

JesseCake commented 3 years ago

As the title says, is there a possibility that this library could include image splitting capabilities and publishing to two separate topics?

Not all stereo cameras are created equal, and some that are quite handy and plug in nicely don't split out the stereo pair as separate sources, just a combined image.

Ideally what I'm looking for is the ability to slice the left and right sides of the images and pass them out as separate topics nice and neatly so that I can then process stereo imaging with them.

Is this in the scope of this library? Or is it more a separate piece?

(I'm not new to programming or electronics, but very new to ROS as I'm attempting to solve a problem that needs stereo imaging for SLAM mapping of a wheeled robot)
