Stereo Processing in Simulation

Description: Starting the necessary components for generating stereo cloud in simulation with PR2.

Tutorial Level: INTERMEDIATE

/!\ work in progress

  1. Build the required packages
     rosmake pr2_gazebo stereo_image_proc
  2. Startup PR2 in simulation.

    1. Start Gazebo with an example world with some objects
      roslaunch gazebo_worlds simple_world.launch
    2. Start the PR2
      roslaunch pr2_gazebo pr2.launch
  3. Start the image processing for the wide and narrow stereo
     roslaunch stereo_image_proc wide.launch
     roslaunch stereo_image_proc narrow.launch
  4. Stereo image processing node outputs various ROS topics:
     /wide_stereo/cloud
     /wide_stereo/right/*
     /wide_stereo/left/*
     /narrow_stereo/cloud
     /narrow_stereo/right/*
     /narrow_stereo/left/*

    which can be visualized using rviz.
