How do I do blob tracking in usb_cam?
I loaded usb_cam package in the bosch_drivers, and followed Pharos test bed
http://pharos.ece.utexas.edu/wiki/index.php/How_to_Use_a_Webcam_in_ROS_with_the_usb_cam_Package
to try it out. I got the video window OK!
I saw another cam package on Pharos mention blob tracking (launch looks similar). Where is documentation on how to do blob tracking on usb_cam?
Thanks, Alan
On which page on the pharos wiki you saw the blob tracking? The usb_cam outputs a video stream on /usb_cam/image_raw. You should change the blob tracker to look at this videostream.
The page is: http://pharos.ece.utexas.edu/wiki/index.php/How_to_Detect_Blobs_using_ROS_Package_cmvision. It's another package, cmvision. Are these drivers, and another package (transport?) gets called to do the blob detection? I didn't see cmvision example doing the blob detection, for that matte
You can just roslaunch that file and it will start your webcam and the blob tracking. Documentation is here: http://www.ros.org/wiki/cmvision
