System Description
Camera Name and Model:
Operating System: Ubuntu 18.04
Spinnaker Version: Version 2.0 (tried versions 1.29 and 1.23 also)
ROS Version: Melodic

Computer details
Intel NUC NUC7i7DNB

Using single camera only. It's a USB 3.0 camera.

Do the cameras work with SpinView? YES
When I follow the read me and execute the roslaunch, it says no cameras found while retrieving the list of cameras.

The error message is as follows:

vik748 commented

Which camera model are you using?

keerthana-kannan commented

@vik748 I'm using a FLIR Backfly S USB 3.0 Camera

Deleted user commented

If spinview can see the cameras I don't understand why the ROS driver would have an issue. #48 also reported a similar issue. I haven't tested on Melodic, so can't say what is going on.

Similar to 48 can you try setting : binning = 2 launch file to see if that helps.

All we do is GetCameras() to get list of attached cameras here:

spinnaker_sdk_camera_driver/src/capture.cpp

Line 211 in 2f9f14d

camList_ = system_->GetCameras();

This is very similar to the provided example at /usr/src/spinnaker/src/Acquisition/Acquisition.cpp
can you try running that with Acquisition and see if it detect the camera.

keerthana-kannan commented

@vik748 binning = 2 gives a different error as mentioned in issue #48. The Acquisition.cpp detectd the camera and works fine and stores the 10 images. But the Acquisition.cpp runs as "sudo". I am not able to run roslaunch as sudo.

Deleted user commented

The camera in #48 was ethernet not USB. Its interesting that you are having the same issue.

If your error is "First frame ID was not zero! Might cause sync issues later..."

try commenting out

spinnaker_sdk_camera_driver/src/camera.cpp

Line 59 in 2945642

ROS_ASSERT_MSG(frameID_ == 0 ,"First frame ID was not zero! Might cause sync issues later...");

keerthana-kannan commented

@shahvi After doing the above mentioned suggestion, I'm getting the following error. The output stops in ACQUISITION and doesn't come out of that. I cannot see any other output.
ss1

vik748 commented

That is the normal behavior. It means it is working.

keerthana-kannan commented

@vik748 But it's stuck there and I'm not seeing any image outputs as seen in actual acquisition.cpp example.

vik748 commented

It should be publishing to the appropriate topic in ros. You can check by subscribing to it in rviz or rqtimageview.

keerthana-kannan commented

@vik748 Sorry I didn't get you. What do you mean by that? After the Acquisition, I tried to do rqtimageview and there was no output. (Sorry I am new to using ROS).

Deleted user commented

Run rostopic list to see all message topics being publish
Run rostopic echo <topic_name> to see the messages on a topic
The images should be on something like camera_array/cam0/xxx

keerthana-kannan commented

@shahvi
no
No output with running rostopic list.

Deleted user commented

You need to run that on a separate terminal. I'd suggest going through the ROS tutorials first.

keerthana-kannan commented

@shahvi Sure. Thank you so much for the help.

I try setting : binning = 2 launch file ,then got the results above.
Would you mind tell me what i can do, thanks.

Deleted user commented

@ZhouSongxin you error is different from the one in this issue. See #76 , it should be fixed in the dev branch. Can you try running that.

ZhouSongxin commented

@shahvi
I try the method of #76 ,like yesterday, set 0122D636 in both master_cam and cam_ids in yaml file.And also I set ROSCONSOLE_CONFIG_FILE to debug_console.conf.
it doesnt work, the info tell me that the question is in the C++ statement"ROS_ASSERT_MSG(nh_pvt_.getParam("cam_ids", cam_id_vec),"If cam_aliases are provided, they should be the same number as cam_ids and should correspond in order!");",
then I go to #84 , i try the operation like
https://github.com/neufieldrobotics/spinnaker_sdk_camera_driver/pull/84/files/b323f2cf9fd1d2fffd7926638b82128b71612dbb
and i replace the hex(0122D636 ) to octal(19060278).at the same time, i still use std_console.conf
then i solved the question,but another problem come out. As follow:

Does the camera work smoothly in SpinView? Also try setting binning to 2 to reduce bandwidth.

ZhouSongxin commented

@shahvi
It cannt work so smoothly with stream being aborted.
I set binning to 2.Unfortunately, the connection isnt stable.

Thank you for your help very much.
best wishes for you!

@shahvi As mentioned above the camera worked fine with roslaunch instruction from the README (I was able to see the stream using rosrun rqt_image_view rqt_image_view). But when I do rosrun for the acquisition node, I'm getting the following error. (I'm running roscore in a parallel terminal)

this node needs a bunch of parameters to work correctly, that is why it is better to use the roslaunch file where you setup all the required parameters. rosrun would require to independently setup all the parameters on the parameter server. Is there a reason you don't want to use roslaunch ?
Also since this code uses a nodelet, the roslaunch also launches the required nodelet manager.

keerthana-kannan commented

@shahvi Thank you for the clarification. I will use roslaunch. I was just confused as to why rosrun gave me an error while roslaunch worked fine.
