Using HTC Evo3D stereoscopic camera to make pointcloud2 [closed]
I am trying to get my HTC Evo3D to create a PointCloud2 via ROS. I have the components working but I am stung by a "feature" that I believe the Evo3D has.
My setup: RosJava android publishing FullScreen,Left,Right compressed images to master Ubuntu. Ubuntu runs the calibration and appropriate stereo stacks to make a pointcloud2.
The problem? With the phone mounted, the left camera streams steady images but the right camera's images shift back and forth. From what I see on HTC's website, I think the evo3D is shifting the right camera image to depending on which item is the main focus to get the best 3D effect. Note that I believe this is different than the Display's adjustment.
The Evo3D seems ideal for a mobile robot right? Wifi, Android ROS, GPS, stereo cameras,... Is anybody else trying to get stereo images from this device? Are you running into issues like I am? I did post my question to Sprint's dev forum since it seems it is a specific device issue. I posted this part here though in hopes that one of you is an Evo3D enthusiast that has figured out how to publish PointCloud2 from the stereo cameras.
I appreciate consideration.
I too am a fan of the EVO 3D and I would like to use its 3D camera with ROS. Before I begin work in this regard, I was just wondering if there has been any additional developments since this post. If not, perhaps we can join forces and get it working.
Hi, I would also be very interessed if there where any devleppements
