Hello,

I have recorded some actions using $rosbag record within the virtual simulator called UWSim. I am trying right now to make it work with lsd_slam.

My camera topic is /g500/camera1 Therefore, I ran lsd_slam as follow:

 rosrun lsd_slam_core live_slam image:=/g500/camera1 camera_info:=/camera_info

Now of course I am getting a message saying "WAITING for ROS camera calibration!". I have found someone previously asking how to calibrate virtual camera, however the answer was there is no need. Then what kind of calibration data I should send?

Managed to solve it.

I calculated the camera parameters and this is what Ive got (I calculated these by following this answer):

0.804 1.07 0 0 0
320 240
none
320 240

I saved these configs into a my_calib.cfg file in /lsd_slam/lsd_slam_core/calib.

Then I ran the following line:

 rosrun lsd_slam_core live_slam image:=/g500/camera1 _calib='path//lsd_slam/lsd_slam_core/calib/my_calib.cfg'

and after that I ran

rosbag play *my_file*

LSD_SLAM reacted and showed some signs of being ALIVE!
