Camera

A ROS node that processes data received from TeensyCam - stereo camera module.

Depending on various options defined in camera.launch, it can generate and broadcast the following ROS topics:

• raw (both left and right) images
• rectified images
• disparity image
• depth image
• camera_info for the above images
• point cloud
• emulated laser scan

This node makes use of LIBELAS dense stereo library, specifically its OpenMP-version.
