PTAM Drone Camera Feed #1

Closed pulver22 closed 8 years ago

pulver22 commented 8 years ago

Hi,

I'm using this package with tum_simulator.

After typing roslaunch uga_tum_ardrone uga_tum_ardrone the windows called "PTAM Drone Camera Feed", which should show the the tracking map, does not appear. In the console I don't have any error (or warning).

I was wondering if this functionality works only with a physical platform or I should be able to see it also in my case.

Hi,

I just tested this and it worked perfectly. A couple of questions:

  1. How are you launching tum_simulator? I used the ardrone_testworld.launch file
  2. Which tum_simulator are you using? I used the master branch from: https://github.com/kbogert/tum_simulator
  3. With the tum_simulator running, can you see the camera if you run: rosrun image_view image_view image:=/ardrone/image_raw

1) Same as you

2) I'm using the simulator from the original project ( https://github.com/tum-vision/tum_simulator )

3) Yes but... for another part of the project I'm working on I renamed /ardrone/image_raw in /camera/image_raw. So I can see the camera listening to this topic.

As said before, console does not report any error and only two windows that appear are the "uga_tum_ardrone GUI" and "PTAM Drone Map View".

I confirm that reverting the changes I did to tum_simulator I can now see this window. Therefore I can close the issue!
