Will this create a point cloud? #124

Closed dippa-1 closed 2 years ago

dippa-1 commented 2 years ago

Hello, I am very new to this ROS world so this is probably a stupid question. I have one Raspberry Pi Cam V2 and I want to use PX4-Obstacle Avoidance which requires a point cloud at /point_cloud. But I've seen that you have to have either a stereo camera or lidar for that, so this won't work?

Have I answered my own question or is it possible somehow?

Thanks

That is correct you need a stereo or depth camera like an Xtion for a point cloud. A picam can be used with calibrated markers for navigation. Both lidar and 3d cameras are now more affordable.
