How should I define the camera frames in my robot's URDF?

Hi, I have a URDF model for my robot and two cameras mounted on the robot's head (a Bumblebee and an Asus Xtion). My question is, how do I define the camera link frames and the frames for each of the cameras? Do I estimate the location of each, e.g. in solidworks?

Any help would be really appreciated!

Thanks

Yes, you have to estimate the location and orientation of your camera with respect to the parent link that the camera is attached to.

In this tutorial, you can see a robot example and how the cameras are defined and also how the "origin" of each camera is implemented in this XACRO file.
