Error in loading whycon file

edit

I’m trying to run Whycon using ROS Kinetic with a USB camera on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. I followed the whycon tutorial to calibrate the camera. After calibration, I ran in my home directory:

sdorman@ikon:~$ ROS_NAMESPACE=usb_cam rosrun image_proc image_proc

And in a new terminal:

sdorman@ikon:~/catkin_ws$ rosrun image_view image_view image:=usb_cam/image_rect_color This worked with no issues. I then unpacked the calibration data from the tar.gz file using $tar -xvzf and then converted the ost.txt file to an ost.ini via

sdorman@ikon:~$ mv ost.txt ost.ini

And then ran:

sdorman@daikon:~$ rosrun camera_calibration_parsers convert ost.ini whycon_transforms.yml
[ INFO] [1525377222.129394510]: Saved whycon_transforms.yml

to convert to a yml file. I sourced catkin_ws and then moved up to the whycon directory to run

sdorman@ikon:~/catkin_ws/src$ rosrun whycon whycon _targets:=1

Here I get the error “could not load file”.

sdorman@ikon:~/catkin_ws$ rosrun whycon whycon _targets:=1
[ INFO] [1525461972.198655861]: Loading file whycon_transforms.yml
[ WARN] [1525461972.198760338]: Could not load "whycon_transforms.yml"

This error also occurs in any other directory than my catkin_ws/src folder. If I move back to ~/catkin_ws/src I get the following error.

sdorman@ikon:~/catkin_ws/src$ rosrun whycon whycon _targets:=1
[ INFO] [1525461901.679379776]: Loading file whycon_transforms.yml
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'YAML::TypedBadConversion<double>'
  what():  yaml-cpp: error at line 0, column 0: bad conversion
Aborted (core dumped)

I’ve tried re-downloading Whycon and repeating the entire process but that did not work. I’m not sure where I went wrong, but any help would be appreciated.

Here's the whycon_ros file:
