Hi,

Below please find my proposed setup:

  1. Board version --> Nvidia Jetson TX2
  2. OS version --> Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
  3. ROS version --> Kinetic Kame
  4. ROS package for V4L driver --> usb_cam
  5. V4L utilities Ubuntu package that used by usb_cam --> v4l-utils
  6. ROS package for interface btw ROS and OpenCV --> cv_bridge

My application requirement is to use a Video4Linux (V4L) vision camera to take a footage. The footage will be handled by the usb_cam node and publishes as a ROS image message. The ROS image message is converted into the OpenCV image data via cv_bridge node. The OpenCV image data can then be analyzed for pattern recognition or other purpose.

I have tried all these on a laptop and is functioning, will it work under Jetson TX2.

Many thanks for your kind advise.

I have a setup with Ubuntu 16.04, ROS Kinetic, and using usb_cam, that definitely works on the TX2. You'd have to check for the cv_bridge, especially if you use OpenCV4Tegra, but you can also install OpenCV now.

Good luck!
