ROS rtabmap 不创建点云

ROS rtabmap does not create point cloud

我已经开始构建立体相机系统来重建视野。我在底座上使用两个罗技 C270 网络摄像头来获取图像流。

对于该项目,有必要尽可能靠近相机镜头,所以我将一台相机垂直转动。我使用 video_stream_opencv 包来获取和旋转图像,并将它们发送到其他节点。

由于后续操作和节省一些硬件资源,我认为在校准,校正等之前同步图像和相机信息的时间戳是必要的,所以我创建了一个同步节点,它使用之间的近似同步图像帧和相机信息消息,它还重新发布具有相同时间戳的数据。 我以为同步后就不需要使用approx_sync了,但我想我错了。 为了测试系统,我也开始使用静态 tf 发布器。

不幸的是我无法从系统中获取点云,但在终端中经常出现警告信息:

[ WARN] [1506963490.361523551]: odometry: Could not get transform from base_link to left (stamp=1506963490.228821) after 0.100000 seconds ("wait_for_transform_duration"=0.100000)! Error=". canTransform returned after 0.102307 timeout was 0.1."

我还创建了一个 rqt 图来理解节点之间的连接: rqt_graph

如果我们看到 tf 帧,这也很有帮助: tf frames

我希望我说的一切都是为了找出我错了什么,因为这个问题我真的很失望。

好的,我们找到问题所在了。

As the error is saying, odometry cannot transform frame left to frame base_link. You may want to add a static transform between camera_link and left as this:

<arg name="pi/2" value="1.5707963267948966" />
<node if="$(arg use_static_transform)" pkg="tf" type="static_transform_publisher" name="camera_optical" args="0 0 0 -$(arg pi/2) 0 -$(arg pi/2) /camera_link /left 100" />

... so you have base_link -> camera_link -> left. Note that you don't need to pre-synchronize as stereo_odometry and rtabmap nodes can do it directly with approx_sync:=true. But yes, if you pre-syncrhonize and set the same timestamp on all image/camera_info topics, you can use approx_sync:=false for odometry and rtabmap. If you have poor results after that, it may be caused by bad stereo rectification and/or synchronization.

I strongly suggest that you get a real stereo camera that does stereo hardware (not software!) synchronization to get good results when the robot is moving.
