Load intrinsic parameters from file [ueye]

Hi, I got an issue with loading parameters from a file while starting the ueye-node. First I configured the parameters from the commandline and than dumped it in a file. I used the following command:

rosrun dynamic_reconfigure dynparam dump /camera <file-name>

I can change this file in an editor and load it back via the load command.

So, now my issue. Is there a possibility to store the file in a specific folder so that the node loads these parameters at startup?

When the ueye-node starts, there is a warning saying:

Failed to load intrinsics for camera from file

However, I do not know where and in what format the file must be saved. Does somebody has any idea?

Parameters (dynamic or not) can be loaded from a file in roslaunch: http://wiki.ros.org/roslaunch/XML/ros...

Camera calibration and intrinsics are separate. The intrinsics are stored in a configurable folder. This is purely used to dewarp the image using nodes like image_proc and others. This file is auto-generated with a calibration procedure involving a checkerboard.
