I want to stream my camera feed to a webpage currently using mjpeg server, but the bandwidth at the moment is a tad bit high, so I'm trying to reduce the size of the stream.

Is it possible to change the frame rate to something lower? I'm using the default (640 x 480 @ 30 Hz), and I was wondering if it is possible to reduce the frame rate to something like 15 Hz? The resolutions currently available, as far as I know, are:

SXGA_15Hz  - 1280x1024@15Hz
VGA_30Hz   - 640x480@30Hz
VGA_25Hz   - 640x480@25Hz
QVGA_25Hz  - 320x240@25Hz
QVGA_30Hz  - 320x240@30Hz
QVGA_60Hz  - 320x240@60Hz
QQVGA_25Hz - 160x120@25Hz
QQVGA_30Hz - 160x120@30Hz
QQVGA_60Hz - 160x120@60Hz

I don't really want to reduce my resolution to 320x240, and I'd love it if there was something between VGA and QVGA (maybe something like 480x360), but I don't think its possible to just create my own resolutions, right?

Is there any way around this at all, or is this constrained by the hardware?

Thanks!

You could use topic_tools/throttle and have mjpeg_server subscribe to the throttled topic.

This post is a wiki. Anyone with karma >75 is welcome to improve it.

Not sure about openni2_camera but this:

<param name="camera/driver/data_skip" value="10" /> <!-- 0 is default, 10 will drop 9/10 frames -->

works for kinect in openni_launch. It doesnt change the frame rate but it skips frames. When you run rosrun rqt_reconfigure rqt_reconfigure you may be able to find more.

Or take a look at a slightly different question here

Where can I include the line on top? I'm using roslaunch openni_launch openni.launch to start my camera. I tried inserting it in the openni.launch file, but it doesn't seem to work..
