calibrating virtual camera

hi everyone.

I spawn my robot model with launching robotspawn file, it 's a sdf robot model and it has a camera that uses libgazeborosopennikinect.so driver.

robot sapwns successfully and I can get image from it's topic and $(cameratopic)/camerainfo topic published successfully.

my question is: info published by camera_info is true? should I calibrate my camera? how can I calibrate my virtual camera?

I'm not an expert, but virtual cameras (I'm assuming Gazebo plugins here) are typically implemented as "perfect cameras" (they typically have the distortion matrix in the camera info msg set to zeros). Calibration would not make sense in those cases.

I have created a tool to calibrate the camera in gazebo, feel free to try it out https://github.com/keszegrobert/calibration
