Crate opencv_ros_camera for the Rust language
Geometric models of OpenCV/ROS cameras for photogrammetry
This crate provides a geometric model of a camera compatible with OpenCV as
used by ROS (the Robot Operating System). The crate is in pure Rust, can be
compiled in no_std mode, implements the
IntrinsicParameters
trait from the cam-geom and provides
support to read and write camera models in various formats.
In greater detail:
- Compatible with camera calibrations made by the ROS
camera_calibrationpackage, including monocular and stereo calibrations. Despite this compatibility, does not depend on ROS or OpenCV. (Furthermore, there is also no dependency on the excellent rosrust crate). - Can be compiled without the Rust standard library or allocator to support embedded applications.
- The
RosOpenCvIntrinsicstype implements theIntrinsicParameterstrait from thecam-geomcrate. Thus, acam_geom::Cameracan be created to handle intrinsic parameters usingRosOpenCvIntrinsicsand camera pose handled by theExtrinsicParametersstruct fromcam-geom. (See the example below.) - When compiled with the
serde-serializefeature, read camera calibrations saved by the ROScamera_calibration/cameracalibrator.pynode in~/.ros/camera_info/camera_name.yamlwithfrom_ros_yaml. - When compiled with the
serde-serializefeature, read and write theRosOpenCvIntrinsicsstruct using serde.
Let's say we have YAML file saved by the ROS
camera_calibration/cameracalibrator.py node. How can we create a
cam_geom::Camera
from this?
use nalgebra::{Matrix2x3, Unit, Vector3};
// Here we have the YAML file contents hardcoded in a string. Ordinarily, you
// would read this from a file such as `~/.ros/camera_info/camera_name.yaml`, but
// for this example, it is hardcoded here.

// The ROS YAML file does not contain the pose (no extrinsic parameters). Here we

let lookat = Vector3::new(0.0, 0.0, 0.0);

}Test no_std compilation with:
# install target with: "rustup target add thumbv7em-none-eabihf"
cargo check --no-default-features --target thumbv7em-none-eabihf
Run unit tests with:
cargo test
cargo test --features serde-serialize
serde support requires std.
