Camera Parameter Server

Summary

The camera parameter server was designed to eliminate the need for multiple nodes to subscribe to each camera individually, reducing unnecessary subscribers and callbacks. Its sole purpose is to listen to the camera info topics, store relevant information about the cameras, and provide it on demand for other nodes to query.

Configuration

The camera parameter server is currently configurable through a non-ROS configuration file. This file allows users to define a list of cameras, specifying their types and topic names. At the top level of the configuration, a base link name is provided to indicate the tf name for the robot’s center. Additionally, a parameter called camera_list contains a list of dictionaries, with each dictionary representing an individual camera. Currently, two camera types are supported: monocular and stereo.

Parameters

Below are the parameters needed for the meta level camera parameter server configuration, as well as the camera fields needed to specify individual camera types.

Meta Level Parameters

<div style="width:220px">Parameter</div> Description
base_link_frame_id The frame name of the base link, or center frame of the robot
camera_list A list of dictionaries that define each camera of the system

Monocular Camera Parameters

<div style="width:220px">Parameter</div> Description
camera_name The name of the camera
camera_type The type of camera, for monocular being mono
camera_info_sub_topic The info topic name for the camera, normally camera_info
camera_frame_id The frame name of the camera to find its tf

Stereo Camera Parameters

<div style="width:220px">Parameter</div> Description
camera_name The name of the camera
camera_type The type of camera, for stereo being stereo
camera_info_sub_topic The info topic name for the camera, normally camera_info
left_camera_frame_id The frame name of the left camera for find its tf
right_camera_frame_id The frame name of the right camera to find its tf
