Description

The package we are using to generate a pointcloud is called Stereo_Image__Proc. This takes two images and rectifes the two images and then from that image generates a pointcloud representing the current distance from the origin.

INTRO

This guide assumes three things:

1. ROS is setup properly and configured

2. The husky_ws is setup using the previous step and the .bashrc has been setup properly for said workstation

   1. Git (start at the Install Git on Linux section)

STEPS

1. Clone the github repository

   1. git clone -Stereo_Camera https://github.com/CSUN-SERL/Control-Mapping-SARWAI.git Stereo_Camera

   1. chmod +x camera_install.sh
      bash camera_install.sh
