ROS Package

Abstract 概要
The objective of the ROS package fingervision is to provide an easy-to-integrate utility of FingerVision processing programs. It is designed on the famous robotic middleware ROS. The processed data is sent as the ROS topics, and its control interface is provided as ROS services.

Overview †

The ROS package unifies the marker tracking and proximity vision. It consists of a ROS node fv_core_node which takes USB video devices, video streams, and video files as input. Then the node processes the image sequence with the marker tracking and proximity vision algorithms. The computed results are published as ROS topics. The behavior of fv_core_node is controlled by ROS services. For example pausing and resuming the process.

Implementation Overview †

Features:

Discussion
There are two ways to handle multiple cameras: one is using a single fv_core_node node to handle all cameras, and the other is using multiple fv_core_node nodes (fv_core_node per camera). Based on our experience, the fv_core_node-per-camera strategy seems to be more efficient.

Threading: There are 1+2N threads where N is the number of cameras.

↑

Parameters †

Following ROS parameters are defined:

More details are as follows.

↑

Path Definitions †

CameraName[i] denotes the Name parameter of the i-th camera configuration.

Video recording:

↑

FPS Control †

Both frame_skip and target_fps are used for controlling (decreasing) FPS. Do not set both parameters simultaneously. Note that there is no way to increase the FPS with the ROS node.

The pseudo codes of the behaviors are as follows:

frame_skip:

 for each frame index f:
   Capture frame;
   if(frame_skip<=0 || f%(frame_skip+1)==0)
     Set frame as an input image to be processed;
   else
     Throw away frame;

target_fps:

 In thread of each process:
   ros::Rate rate(TargetFPS)
   for each input frame:
     Do the process;
     rate.sleep()
↑

Topics †

There are 2N topics where N is the number of cameras.

CameraName[i] denotes the Name parameter of the i-th camera configuration.

↑

blob_moves †

Message type: fingervision_msgs/BlobMoves

 std_msgs/Header header
   uint32 seq
   time stamp
   string frame_id
 int32 camera_index
 string camera_name
 int32 width
 int32 height
 fingervision_msgs/BlobMove[] data
   float32 Pox
   float32 Poy
   float32 So
   float32 DPx
   float32 DPy
   float32 DS
↑

prox_vision †

Message type: fingervision_msgs/ProxVision

 std_msgs/Header header
   uint32 seq
   time stamp
   string frame_id
 int32 camera_index
 string camera_name
 int32 width
 int32 height
 float32[] ObjM_m
 float32[] ObjM_mu
 float32[] ObjM_nu
 float32[] ObjS
 float32[] MvS

For the result of proximity vision, refer to Access to the Result of TObjDetTrackBSP.

The serialization of OpenCV matrices ObjS and MvS is done as follows:

for(int r(0),rend(m.rows),i(0);r<rend;++r) 
  for(int c(0),cend(m.cols);c<cend;++c,++i)
    array[i]= m.at<float>(r,c);
↑

Services †

fingervision_msgs/SetInt32:

int32 data
---
bool result
↑

User Interface †

There are 2N windows where N is the number of cameras. For each camera (or video stream or video file), two windows are created:

They have common and window-specific mouse and key command. To use a window-specific key command, click the window and press the key.

Common mouse and key command:

Marker tracking window:

Proximity vision window:

Config and Launch Files †

Although the fv_core_node can be executed directly, it is recommended to use configuration and launch files.

The fingervision package provides some representative examples of configuration and launch files. Let's see them as the case study.

Tips
If the IP address of your Raspberry Pi is 192.168.1.100, you can give an alias pi1 by editing /etc/hosts. Just add the following line: 
192.168.1.100    pi1

There are two configuration files.

The launch file (without FV-Filter) is: fingervision/launch/fv_2.launch

<!-- FingerVision demo of two sensors streamed over Ethernet network -->
<launch>
  <node type="fv_core_node" pkg="fingervision" name="fv_2_l" ns="fingervision" output="screen">

  </node>
</launch>

Note that two fv_core_node instances are created in this launch file.

The launch file (with FV-Filter) is: fingervision/launch/fv_2_filtered.launch

Usage: Run one of followings:

$ roslaunch fingervision fv_2.launch
$ roslaunch fingervision fv_2_filtered.launch
↑

Dummy Videos of Two FingerVision †

The setup is as follows:

There are two configuration files.

The launch file (without FV-Filter) is: fingervision/launch/fv_3.launch
Note that two fv_core_node instances are created in this launch file.

The launch file (with FV-Filter) is: fingervision/launch/fv_3_filtered.launch

Usage:

First, we launch MJPG-Streamer to stream the videos. Run one of followings:

$ rosrun fingervision stream_file1.sh
$ rosrun fingervision stream_file2.sh
$ rosrun fingervision stream_file3.sh

Then we launch fv_core_node. Run one of followings:

$ roslaunch fingervision fv_3.launch
$ roslaunch fingervision fv_3_filtered.launch
↑

Calibration Results †

The calibration results of the marker tracking are stored in the fingervision/data_gen/ directory (this can be changed by setting the blob_calib_prefix parameters). Press 's' on the marker tracking window to save the calibration result. For the dummy data, the calibration results of the FingerVision sensors used to recording the dummy videos are provided: data_gen/blob_fv_3_l.yaml, data_gen/blob_fv_3_r.yaml.
