rviz image topic speed #19

Closed liuxin00738 closed 6 years ago

Hi lucasw,

This is a great package. I am currently using it. However I do have a question about the speed of this package, can it be faster? Currently I see a image topic frequency of 30hz, when I remove all the things there (no subscriber, everything run on one machine), and only has one marker, and one camera. Surprisingly, the speed does not change either I have one or three cameras. So I think there is potential to make it faster. However, I tried several places to tic-tac the system, I could not find the reason why it seems to be bound to 30hz. Maybe you can point me to a direction? I am trying to use this to interface with a user input device so I want to see how fast this can go.

Best Regards,

Xin Liu

This plugin gets frames at the rate rviz decides to produce them, but rviz framerate can be set in the Global Options | Frame Rate:

I tried setting it to 60 and only got about 50 fps, though I think that is using Intel rather than discrete graphics. Vsync settings or other graphics card specific options outside of rviz options may play a role if the gpu was getting used.

Thanks! I got even 90hz when I disable all subscribers.
