using calibrationdata.tar.gz file in a launch file [closed]

edit

I calibrated my 2 usb cameras (using usb_cam driver) with the camera_calibration tool in stereo vision. As a result I got a /tmp/calibrationdata.tar.gz file. Since I couldn't use the commit function of the calibration tool, all I have is this file. How can I use it?

What I tried:

• extracted the ost.txt file from the calibrationdata.tar.gz
• converted it to yaml format using the camera_calibration_parsers tool (2x for left and right camera)
• in the camera launch file included the following line for both left and right camera:

<param name="left/camera_info_url" type="string" value="file://left_camera_calibration.yaml" />

The camera launch file is as follows:

<launch>
  <group ns="stereo">
    <node name="left" pkg="usb_cam" type="usb_cam_node" output="screen" >
        <param name="video_device" value="/dev/video1" />
        <param name="image_width" value="640" />
        <param name="image_height" value="480" />
        <param name="pixel_format" value="mjpeg" />
        <param name="camera_frame_id" value="left" />
        <param name="io_method" value="mmap"/>      
        <rosparam file="example-left.yaml"/>    
        <param name="left/camera_info_url" type="string" value="file://left_camera_calibration.yaml" />
    </node>

    <node name="right" pkg="usb_cam" type="usb_cam_node" output="screen" >
        <param name="video_device" value="/dev/video2" />
        <param name="image_width" value="640" />
        <param name="image_height" value="480" />
        <param name="pixel_format" value="mjpeg" />
        <param name="camera_frame_id" value="right" />
        <param name="io_method" value="mmap"/>          
        <rosparam file="example-right.yaml"/>   
        <param name="right/camera_info_url" type="string" value="file://right_camera_calibration.yaml" />
    </node>
  </group>  
</launch>

The left.yaml and right.yaml files are in the same directory as the launch file, and they looks like this:
