Meta-package for the universal variant library.

Variant messages are designed to accommodate the information content of any invariant message. They are truly generic and can freely be converted to and from specific message objects.

Virtual package providing ViSP related packages.

Online automated pattern-based object tracker relying on visual servoing. visp_auto_tracker wraps model-based trackers provided by ViSP visual servoing library into a ROS package. The tracked object should have a QRcode, Flash code, or April tag pattern. Based on the pattern, the object is automaticaly detected. The detection allows then to initialise the model-based trackers. When lost of tracking achieves a new detection is performed that will be used to re-initialize the tracker. This computer vision algorithm computes the pose (i.e. position and orientation) of an object in an image. It is fast enough to allow object online tracking using a camera.

Converts between ROS structures and ViSP structures.

visp_camera_calibration allows easy calibration of cameras using a customizable pattern and ViSP library.

visp_hand2eye_calibration estimates the camera position with respect to its effector using the ViSP library.

An extension of ViSP library that interfaces ROS into usual ViSP classes and a basket of generic ros nodes based on ViSP.

Wraps the ViSP moving edge tracker provided by the ViSP visual servoing library into a ROS package. This computer vision algorithm computes the pose (i.e. position and orientation) of an object in an image. It is fast enough to allow object online tracking using a camera.

voxel_grid provides an implementation of an efficient 3D voxel grid. The occupancy grid can support 3 different representations for the state of a cell: marked, free, or unknown. Due to the underlying implementation relying on bitwise and and or integer operations, the voxel grid only supports 16 different levels per voxel column. However, this limitation yields raytracing and cell marking performance in the grid comparable to standard 2D structures making it quite fast compared to most 3D structures.

Access to the DD-WRT wifi

The wiimote package allows ROS nodes to communicate with a Nintendo Wiimote and its related peripherals, including the Nunchuk, Motion Plus, and (experimentally) the Classic. The package implements a ROS node that uses Bluetooth to communicate with the Wiimote device, obtaining accelerometer and gyro data, the state of LEDs, the IR camera, rumble (vibrator), buttons, joystick, and battery state. The node additionally enables ROS nodes to control the Wiimote's LEDs and vibration for feedback to the human Wiimote operator. LEDs and vibration may be switched on and off, or made to operate according to a timed pattern.
