Could this be used with real time data?
Hi, I would like to know does this package work if I doesn't use rosbag? I'll launch camera and velodyne in different terminal that publish the require topic as mentioned in the README.md.
Thanks.
Yes it should work, you can still launch the GUI and pick (and save) corresponding 2D/3D points. Make sure the camera is calibrated and camera_info
topic is updated properly with the new parameters.
Hi @heethesh, thanks for getting back to me, do I need to save the calibrated YAML file? I used the camera calibrator from ROS to calibrate the camera.
Yes, if you save it in /home/.ros
folder (not sure) - which is the default save path, I believe ROS will automatically pick the data from here for a given camera name. You can double check by running rostopic echo
on the camera_info
topic in the terminal.
Ok @heethesh Thanks for the information. I'll give it a try and see how it goes. I might need some pointers if I have some difficulties. Thanks.
No problem, you may want to update the point-cloud visible ranges for the GUI here. Working on a new update that uses Rviz GUI instead of Matplotlib which should be more convenient to work with.
Ok. I'm new to ROS and will look into details once I got that to work. Thanks.
Hi @heethesh, one quick question that I would like to ask, does it work for LiDAR 32 channel?
yes it should work
