Hi all;

I am using camera_calibration node ( http://wiki.ros.org/camera_calibration ) to calibrate a stereo system based on a VRMagic D3 camera. To access the images of the smartcam I am using vrmagic_ros_bridge_server node. I am running ROS INDIGO in an Ubuntu 64 bit machine. After remapping images to a common workspace, I have the following topics:

/img_pub1
/img_pub1_camera_info
/img_pub2
/img_pub2_camera_info
/object_image/left/camera_info
/object_image/left/image_raw
/object_image/left/image_raw/compressed
/object_image/left/image_raw/compressed/parameter_descriptions
/object_image/left/image_raw/compressed/parameter_updates
/object_image/left/image_raw/compressedDepth
/object_image/left/image_raw/compressedDepth/parameter_descriptions
/object_image/left/image_raw/compressedDepth/parameter_updates
/object_image/left/image_raw/theora
/object_image/left/image_raw/theora/parameter_descriptions
/object_image/left/image_raw/theora/parameter_updates
/object_image/right/camera_info
/object_image/right/image_raw
/object_image/right/image_raw/compressed
/object_image/right/image_raw/compressed/parameter_descriptions
/object_image/right/image_raw/compressed/parameter_updates
/object_image/right/image_raw/compressedDepth
/object_image/right/image_raw/compressedDepth/parameter_descriptions
/object_image/right/image_raw/compressedDepth/parameter_updates
/object_image/right/image_raw/theora
/object_image/right/image_raw/theora/parameter_descriptions
/object_image/right/image_raw/theora/parameter_updates
/rosout
/rosout_agg

Following the StereoCalibration tutorial step by step, I call the stereo calibration procedure:

rosrun camera_calibration cameracalibrator.py --size 8x6 --square 0.024 right:=/object_image/right/image_raw left:=/object_image/left/image_raw right_camera:=/object_image/right left_camera:=/object_image/left

And I obtain the following error, seems some kind of dependency, but I have installed everything (I think) correctly:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/ros/indigo/lib/camera_calibration/cameracalibrator.py", line 50, in <module>
    from camera_calibration.calibrator import MonoCalibrator, StereoCalibrator, ChessboardInfo, Patterns
ImportError: No module named calibrator

I would appreciate any clue to solve this, I need to obtain the camera_info information of both cameras asap !!

Thnak you all in advance,

Alberto

The problem comes because python can not find modules in different paths. In my instalation "cameracalibrator.py" is on /opt/ros/indigo/lib/camera_calibration/ , while "calibrator.py" is on /opt/ros/indigo/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/camera_calibration/

One fast way to solve the problem is to copy "calibrator.py" to a directory camera_calibrator, so that the imports in python find what they are expected to find:

/opt/ros/indigo/lib/camera_calibration/cameracalibrator.py
/opt/ros/indigo/lib/camera_calibration/camera_calibration/calibrator.py
/opt/ros/indigo/lib/camera_calibration/camera_calibration/calibrator.pyc
/opt/ros/indigo/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/camera_calibration/calibrator.py
/opt/ros/indigo/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/camera_calibration/calibrator.pyc
/usr/share/app-install/desktop/xinput-calibrator:xinput_calibrator.desktop
/usr/share/app-install/icons/xinput_calibrator.svg
/usr/share/apport/package-hooks/source_xinput-calibrator.py
