I faced a similar issue. What you can do instead is provide a measure of the asynchronization. AFAIK, Kalibr does do approximate synchronization if the topics are not synchronized.
You can pass the tolerance for approximate synchronization:
--approx-sync MAX_DELTA_APPROXSYNC Time tolerance for approximate image synchronization [s] (default: 0.02)
To identify the time difference, you can use rostopic delay
which will give you delays between sequential ROS messages for a topic (NOT between multiple topics)
You can also increase the number of iterations, or include more images of your target in the overlap of the two cameras.
thx!
Hello!
I am having issues calibrating a system with 2 non-synchronized cameras with divergent optical axis, i.e. with only ~30% of the field of view overlap.
If I run the intrinsic calibration of both cameras independently it works correctly, undistorsion look good, metrics good, all good. Commands for intrinsic calibration is
If I run the calibration of both cameras simultaneously it fails, not being able to correctly initialize the stereo pairs.
The command for stereo calibration is
I naively assumed that the temporal offset between the cameras was handled by the tool... is it not the case? do the 2 camera stream need to be strictly synchronized?
