Front and bottom (optical flow) cameras data stream in ROS #294

Closed ghost closed 6 years ago

ghost commented 6 years ago

Hello,

I am running Ubuntu 14.04 on the Intel-aero RTF drone with ROS installed after following the steps on the wiki. I have no problem with the realsense but how do I obtain the front and bottom facing camera data as rostopics?

Thanks, Joshua Furtado

There is no official ROS node to access the Aero cameras, those cameras can be accessed by video4linux APIS so maybe there is a generic node that you can use.

Front camera: /dev/video2 id=0 example: https://github.com/intel-aero/sample-apps/tree/master/hd-camera We just enabled this camera, the image quality is not good you will need to configure focus, white balance, exposure to get a good image.

Bottom camera: /dev/video id=1 example: https://github.com/intel-aero/aero-optical-flow
