camera calibration service not available (specific driver for VRMagic)

edit

Hello all;

I am using "camera calibration" node to calibrate a stereo system based on a VRMagic D3 stereo camera. The driver I am using to obtain the images from the camera is "vrmagic_ros_bridge_server". My launch file is:

<launch>

    <node  pkg="vrmagic_ros_bridge_server" name="vrmagic_ros_bridge_server_node" type="vrmagic_ros_bridge_server_node" respawn="false" output="screen">
        <param name="pub_name" type="str" value="/img_pub" />
        <param name="ip_smartcam" type="str" value="172.16.205.100" />
        <param name="port_smartcam" type="int" value="1234" />
    </node>

    <node  pkg="tekniker_image_proc" name="publish_image_and_info_to_common_ws_node_1" type="publish_image_and_info_to_common_ws_node" respawn="false" output="screen">
        <param name="image_input_topic" type="str" value="/img_pub1" />
        <param name="camera_info_input_topic" type="str" value="/img_pub1_camera_info" />
        <param name="image_output_topic" type="str" value="/left" />
        <param name="camera_info_output_topic" type="str" value="/camera_info" />
        <param name="frame_id" type="str" value="camera_d3_0" />
        <param name="workspace" type="str" value="stereo" />
    </node>

  <node  pkg="tekniker_image_proc" name="publish_image_and_info_to_common_ws_node_2" type="publish_image_and_info_to_common_ws_node" respawn="false" output="screen">
        <param name="image_input_topic" type="str" value="/img_pub2" />
        <param name="camera_info_input_topic" type="str" value="/img_pub2_camera_info" />
        <param name="image_output_topic" type="str" value="/right" />
        <param name="camera_info_output_topic" type="str" value="/camera_info" />
        <param name="frame_id" type="str" value="camera_d3_0" />
        <param name="workspace" type="str" value="stereo" />
    </node>
</launch>

I have remapped the images to a common workspace, and the following topics:

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

/stereo/right/compressedDepth/parameter_descriptions
/stereo/right/compressedDepth/parameter_updates
/stereo/right/theora
/stereo/right/theora/parameter_descriptions
/stereo/right/theora/parameter_updates

The services that I have available are:

/publish_image_and_info_to_common_ws_node_1/get_loggers
/publish_image_and_info_to_common_ws_node_1/set_logger_level
/publish_image_and_info_to_common_ws_node_2/get_loggers
/publish_image_and_info_to_common_ws_node_2/set_logger_level
/rosout/get_loggers
/rosout/set_logger_level
/stereo/left/compressed/set_parameters
/stereo/left/compressedDepth/set_parameters
/stereo/left/theora/set_parameters
/stereo/right/compressed/set_parameters
/stereo/right/compressedDepth/set_parameters
/stereo/right/theora/set_parameters
/vrmagic_ros_bridge_server_node/get_loggers
/vrmagic_ros_bridge_server_node/set_logger_level

Unfortunately, when I use the "camera_calibration" node, I have the following error:

rosrun camera_calibration cameracalibrator.py --size 8x6 --square 0.024 right:=/stereo/right left:=/stereo/left right_camera:=/right left_camera:=/left
('Waiting for service', '/left/set_camera_info', '...')
Service not found
('Waiting for service', '/right/set_camera_info', '...')
Service not found

Which is obvious, because my vrmagic camera driver is not providing that services. If I use "--no-service-check" flag, the terminal get blocked and I obtain no results.

I know this issue has appeared more times on the forums, and all the answers where related to solutions changing or modifying the camera driver to obtain results, but, what if the driver that we are using does NOT provide that services in anyway? It is not possible to calibrate cameras without using stardard camera drivers?

I would appreciate any king of help a lot...

Thank you,

Alberto
