ros-kinetic-opencv3 and apriltags regression?

asked 2017-12-20 05:40:48 -0500

Sietse gravatar image

Hello list,

Using apriltags (link text) worked fine until the last update of kinetic (around 12 december). Now there is a crash in opencv when doing "roslaunch apriltags usb_cam_apriltags.launch" as soon as a tag is being recognized. It seems that removing the assertion solves the problem. See the output below.

What can I do? Is there e.g. an easy way to replace the opencv3 code from ros-kinetic-opencv3 by using a (patched) version in /usr/local/bin so that ROS will use that?

Thanks in advance, Sietse

In apriltags_ros/apriltags/src/TagDetection.cc change line 95, cv::Matx33f ... to :

cv::Matx33d cameraMatrix( fx, 0, px,
                          0, fy, py,
                          0,  0,  1);

(Just f to d)

First: the version of apriltags_ros I used was a different one. I now switched to the "regular" and patched it as above.

The error does not occur anymore, and tags are detected, with correct id-number. But position/orientation is not given. Always all zero's apart from w. Still anything wrong?

I pushed changes from my other private repository, everything works fine there. github.com/cosmicog/apriltags_ros (branch: kinetic-devel)

It works when using this repository!

I tested it on my home machine using Lunar. Will later test some more on kinetic.

Note that the version mentioned in the ros-wiki still has to be corrected.

Eureka! Matx33f -> Matx33d just works ^_^

why I cannot find the Matx33d above?

I download the package from https://github.com/xenobot-dev/aprilt... .

See my first comment. Use the version from Orhan or patch the version mentioned in the ros-wiki.

I am really new to ROS. so just git clone it to my /catkin_ws/src and run catkin_make @ /catkin_ws ?

Alternatively, a newer version of apriltags is available for kinetic ( http://wiki.ros.org/apriltags2_ros ).
