Package Summary

A ROS node to provide access to Point Grey Research cameras, using the FlyCapture2 SDK API Acknowledgement: This package is based largely on the prosilica_camera package, by Patrick Mihelich (http://www.ros.org/wiki/prosilica_camera). Originally developed by Patrick Bouffard. Reason for branching from original package:

  1. For better calibration purposes (with ROS camera_calibration pkg) it needs to use the camera_info_manager package. See example launch files.
  2. Adding support for color cameras

Home of the unofficial (incomplete) ROS driver for PointGrey monocular cameras (Only tested with Chameleon cameras both monochromatic and color).

This package was branched from Patrick Bouffard's pgr_camera package.

Third Party Requirement: FlyCapture2 SDK

The driver requires the FlyCapture2 SDK.

TO DO

  1. Handle dynamic resizing of frames
  2. Allow for more color modes/encodings (for now using RGB8 encoding arbitrarily)
  3. Documentation
