Detailed Description

Camera Sensor Class.

This class creates images from an ignition rendering scene. The scene must be created in advance and given to Manager::Init(). It offers both an ignition-transport interface and a direct C++ API to access the image data. The API works by setting a callback to be called with image data.

Member Function Documentation

◆ AdvertiseInfo() [1/2]

bool AdvertiseInfo ( )

protected

Advertise camera info topic.

Returns: True if successful.

◆ AdvertiseInfo() [2/2]

bool AdvertiseInfo ( const std::string & _topic )

protected

Advertise camera info topic. This version takes a string that allows one to override the camera_info topic.

Parameters

[in] _topic The topic on which camera info is to be published.

Returns: True if successful.

◆ Baseline()

double Baseline ( ) const

Get baseline for stereo cameras.

Returns: The distance from the 1st camera, in meters.

◆ ConnectImageCallback()

gz::common::ConnectionPtr ConnectImageCallback ( std::function< void(const gz::msgs::Image &)> _callback )

Set a callback to be called when image frame data is generated.

Parameters

[in] _callback This callback will be called every time the camera produces image data. The Update function will be blocked while the callbacks are executed.

Remarks: Do not block inside of the callback.

Returns: A connection pointer that must remain in scope. When the connection pointer falls out of scope, the connection is broken.

◆ ImageHeight()

virtual unsigned int ImageHeight ( ) const

virtual

Get image height.

Returns: height of the image

Reimplemented in DepthCameraSensor, ThermalCameraSensor, and RgbdCameraSensor.

◆ ImageWidth()

virtual unsigned int ImageWidth ( ) const

virtual

Get image width.

Returns: width of the image

Reimplemented in DepthCameraSensor, ThermalCameraSensor, and RgbdCameraSensor.

◆ InfoTopic()

std::string InfoTopic ( ) const

Topic where camera info is published.

Returns: Camera info topic.

◆ Init()

virtual bool Init ( )

overridevirtual

Initialize values in the sensor.

Returns: True on success

Reimplemented from Sensor.

Reimplemented in DepthCameraSensor, ThermalCameraSensor, and RgbdCameraSensor.

◆ Load() [1/2]

virtual bool Load ( const sdf::Sensor & _sdf )

overridevirtual

Load the sensor based on data from an sdf::Sensor object.

Parameters

[in] _sdf SDF Sensor parameters.

Returns: true if loading was successful

Reimplemented from Sensor.

Reimplemented in DepthCameraSensor, ThermalCameraSensor, and RgbdCameraSensor.

◆ Load() [2/2]

virtual bool Load ( sdf::ElementPtr _sdf )

overridevirtual

◆ PopulateInfo()

void PopulateInfo ( const sdf::Camera * _cameraSdf )

protected

Populate camera info message.

Parameters

[in] _cameraSdf Pointer to SDF object containing camera information.

◆ PublishInfo()

void PublishInfo ( const gz::common::Time & _now )

protected

Publish camera info message.

Parameters

[in] _now The current time

◆ RenderingCamera()

rendering::CameraPtr RenderingCamera ( ) const

Get pointer to rendering camera object.

Returns: Camera in Gazebo Rendering.

◆ SetBaseline()

void SetBaseline ( double _baseline )

Set baseline for stereo cameras. This is used to populate the projection matrix in the camera info message.

Parameters

[in] _baseline The distance from the 1st camera, in meters.

◆ SetScene()

virtual void SetScene ( gz::rendering::ScenePtr _scene )

overridevirtual

Set the rendering scene.

Parameters

[in] _scene Pointer to the scene

Reimplemented in DepthCameraSensor, ThermalCameraSensor, and RgbdCameraSensor.

◆ Update()

virtual bool Update ( const common::Time & _now )

overridevirtual

Force the sensor to generate data.

Parameters

[in] _now The current time

Returns: true if the update was successfull
