Hello,

Kindly need your help, Currently I am working on AR Tags detection using IP Camera. I already succeed published the ROS Image messages from my IP Camera by streaming from Camera URL using OpenCV. The image can also be shown in rviz image node.

However, I have no idea how to generate camera_info message from this IP Camera, since the way to access this images are using URL directing to its MJPG images. Any ideas?

Sorry, I don't know much about the camera_info_manager, beyond the fact that it's the right library for storing and serving camera info. You should probably ask a new question about this.

Take a look at the camera_info_manager package. It has a C++ API that makes it very easy to serve CameraInfo for your camera. Note that once you have CameraInfo incorporated into your driver, you still have to run the camera calibration to compute the intrinsics for your specific camera.
