Overview

An ROS node is provided to generate a blinking chessboard for calibrating the Event-based Camera(Dynamic Vision Sensor). It provides the support of rqt_reconfigure to control the size and blinking frequency of the chessboard. And provide to save it in .avi video format.

Build and Run

1. Build

   If you have not yet compiled the entire repository, clone the entire repository and compile it (skip this step if you have already).

   mkdir -p ~/celex_ws/src
   cd ~/celex_ws/src
   git clone [email protected]:kehanXue/CeleX5-ROS.git
   # Or with http: `git clone https://github.com/kehanXue/CeleX5-ROS.git`
   cd ..
   rosdep install -y --from-paths src --ignore-src --rosdistro $ROS_DISTRO
   catkin_make # Or use `catkin build`

2. Run

   source ~/celex_ws/devel/setup.bash # Or source setup.zsh when you use zsh
   rosrun celex5_ros pattern_generator_node
   # In a new Terminal
   rosrun rqt_reconfigure rqt_reconfigure #  Open rqt_reconfigure to config

   Normal operation without error. You can see that a window will pop up showing the blinking chessboard. At this time, you can adjust the parameters of the blinking calibration board through the rqt_reconfigure panel:

   • square_size: the length of each side of the squares in a chessboard. In pixels.

   • row_corners_num和col_corners_num: the number of interior points of the rows and columns of the generated chessboard.

   • blinking_fps: the blinking frequency / frame rate of the chessboard. It is a cycle before one flash and the next flash.

   • static_board: controls whether the checkerboard blinks.

   • record_video: click start to generate the video of blinking chessboard, and click (uncheck) again to stop recording the video. The frequency of the chessboard blinking in the video is consistent with the current blinking_fps parameter. Note that adjusting the blinking_fps in the process of generating video is invalid for the generated video, and doesn't adjust the size of the checkerboard during the video generation processing!

     The video will be generated under the current application running path:
