Spinnaker FLIR Camera (ROS Driver) - Doesn't give me RGB data
Hi peeps, Diwakar here. I am a bit kinda beginner in ROS. I am right now working in a project where we are using FLIR Cameras for the data streaming.
I have used the following ROS driver for getting the data inside my ROS environment. https://github.com/ros-drivers/flir_c...
For that, I have installed the Spinnaker version (spinnaker-2.4.0.143-amd64).
But, the problem is that I am only able to get the gray scale image at the fps of close to 57 Hz.
I poked around the source code inside the ROS driver and understood that they are using .cfg file to set the 'image_coding' parameter. So, I adjusted that to default to 'rgb8packed' from 'mono8'.
But, it results in two issues: 1) When I run the camera.launch file, it gives me an error for the fps, says that the fps shoots higher than the limit possible. And then, I lowered the fps rate to 10 Hz, and then it works.
2) But, the resulting image in the topic /camera/image_raw is kinda tinted red. (It feels as if it is a filtered image). How do I recover a colored image, that which I can get from a normal camera?
So, I need to recover the image (normal color image) and then also I would like to get a increased frame rate , because 10 Hz is very low, I feel. Is there a work around for my issue?
If possible, could someone try reproduce the issue and see how it works for you and let me know? It would be really great, if I could solve this issue, as my Master thesis really depends on whether I can get it working as soon as possible.
Thank you very much in advance. Diwakar.
