Problem with ar_pose, error: Rectified topic '/camera/image_rect' requested but camera publishing '/camera/camera_info' is uncalibrated**

Hi, I successfully calibrated my camera (rosrun uvc_cam_node works well) but when I launch ar_pose I get error that my camera isn't calibrated:

[ERROR] [1416872150.188997696]: Rectified topic '/camera/image_rect' requested but camera publishing '/camera/camera_info' is uncalibrated

Please help me and dispel my doubts:

  1. Compare two rosnode lists: Are they the same? /uvc_camera node = /camera/uvc_camera_node

  2. uvc_camera_node is a node which transmit video from camera to ROS and /camera/uvc_camera_node is a node which ar_pose use to get video to recognize maker/tag?

  3. Compare topic lists: /camera_info, /image_raw and /camera/camera_info, /camera/image_raw should I remap something in launch?

  4. Why in launch we set parameters and after It there is command 'find' which load parameters from file? is there any sense?

DETAILS: when I ran: uvc_camera I get:

and everything seems to be ok...

Rosnode and rostopic list:

/uvc_camera

przemek@przem:/opt/ros/indigo/share/uvc_camera$ rostopic list

When I run ar_single_pose I get error:

Have you really calibrated your camera using the camera calibrator?

http://wiki.ros.org/camera_calibration

Some camera drivers may publish an empty uncalibrated camera_info along with the image, which seems to be the case as your calib matrix contains all zeros and the distortion factor is the default 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 1.000000

EDIT / I found solution!

Yes, but I was doing it in wrong way. Because commit button didn't work, I manually copied file from calibration tar to appropriate localisation.

How to repair commit button in calibration: http://tinyurl.com/nksyrdm

I calibrated it again and commited setting to driver.

I'd first check that the camera_info topic contains the data from your calibration config file. Use rostopic echo /camera_info and compare.

The next thing is always checking the ROS message graph for errors. Run rqt_graph and confirm that there are connections for camera_info and image_raw from camera driver to image_proc, and one image_rect connection from image_proc to ar_pose.
