How to capture image using kinect camera in Gazebo? [closed]
Hi all, I am trying to capture images of a moving robot arm simulated in Gazebo using the kinect camera controller. A part of my model.sdf for the camera model is as follows:
<sensor name="camera_0" type="depth">
<camera>
<horizontal_fov>1.5</horizontal_fov>
<image>
<width>1024</width>
<height>800</height>
<format>R8G8B8</format>
</image>
<clip>
<near>.1</near>
<far>20</far>
</clip>
<save enabled="true" path="/tmp/camera"/>
</camera>
<plugin name="kinect_camera_controller" filename="libgazebo_ros_openni_kinect.so">
<cameraName>camera_0</cameraName>
<alwaysOn>true</alwaysOn>
<updateRate>10</updateRate>
<imageTopicName>rgb/image_raw</imageTopicName>
<depthImageTopicName>depth/image_raw</depthImageTopicName>
<pointCloudTopicName>depth/points</pointCloudTopicName>
<cameraInfoTopicName>rgb/camera_info</cameraInfoTopicName>
<depthImageCameraInfoTopicName>depth/camera_info</depthImageCameraInfoTopicName>
<frameName>second_camera_depth_optical_frame</frameName>
</plugin>
<always_on>true</always_on>
<update_rate>20.0</update_rate>
</sensor>
As you can see the camera is in 'always On' state.Therefore it keeps on taking images at regular intervals. I want to have control over camera in terms of being able to click images when I want to. How to do this?
Any help is greatly welcome
