Detailed Description

  • image_raw - raw data from the camera driver, possibly Bayer encoded
  • image - monochrome, distorted
  • image_color - color, distorted
  • image_rect - monochrome, rectified
  • image_rect_color - color, rectified

The image_pipeline contains packages (image_proc, stereo_image_proc) for producing the four processed image topics from image_raw and camera_info. The meaning of the camera parameters are described in detail at http://www.ros.org/wiki/image_pipeline/CameraInfo.

The image_geometry package provides a user-friendly interface to common operations using this meta information. If you want to, e.g., project a 3d point into image coordinates, we strongly recommend using image_geometry.

If the camera is uncalibrated, the matrices D, K, R, P should be left zeroed out. In particular, clients may assume that K[0] == 0.0 indicates an uncalibrated camera.

Image acquisition info

CameraInfoPublisher publishes cameraInfo values to a ROS 2 topic. Set the topic and node properties, then call publish() to send messages.
