Image Common
In ROS (Robot Operating System), the image_common stack provides a set of packages and tools for handling images in ROS. It facilitates the integration of cameras and image processing functionalities into ROS-based systems. Here are the primary components of the image_common stack:
image_transport:
Manages the transport of images in ROS.
Provides transparent compression/decompression for image topics.
Allows image data to be published and subscribed to using various transport methods (e.g., raw, compressed, theora).
camera_info_manager:
Manages camera calibration data.
Provides a standardized way to access and store camera calibration parameters.
Ensures that image data can be corrected for lens distortion and other camera-specific effects.
camera_calibration_parsers:
Reads and writes camera calibration parameters from files.
Supports various formats such as YAML and ini.
Facilitates easy loading and saving of camera calibration data.
polled_camera:
Supports cameras that require polling to capture images.
Provides a mechanism for capturing images on demand rather than continuously.
compressed_image_transport:
Extends image_transport to support compressed image formats.
Reduces the bandwidth required for transmitting image data by using JPEG or PNG compression.
