prosilica_driver's Issues

Noetic version of procilica camera cause error when nodelet is used.

If apt version of this package is installed to ROS Noetic PC. Error about plugin definition happens and plugin system cannot be used.

TODO

This is because actual placement of nodelet_plugin.xml and definition of it in package.xml are different if this package is installed. This causes error.

prosilica_driver/prosilica_camera/package.xml

Lines 46 to 48 in fd3855a

	<export>
	<nodelet plugin="${prefix}/plugins/nodelet_plugins.xml" />
	</export>

prosilica_driver/prosilica_camera/CMakeLists.txt

Lines 78 to 79 in fd3855a

	install(FILES prosilica.launch streaming.launch plugins/nodelet_plugins.xml
	DESTINATION ${CATKIN_PACKAGE_SHARE_DESTINATION})

Couldn't find executable named ListCameras

I am running ROS Indigo on Ubuntu 14.04. I have installed the prosilica_camera package in a catkin_ws. I used catkin_make instead of rosmake. When I use rosmake, I get a "No Makefile in package prosilica_camera" message.

I am trying to find my camera's IP address according to the tutorial. I am getting stuck on the "rosrun prosilica_gige_sdk ListCameras" step, as I get the following error:

[rosrun] Couldn't find executable named ListCameras below /opt/ros/indigo/share/prosilica_gige_sdk

Looking through the prosilica_gige_sdk code, I can't find the ListCameras executable either? Is this because I didn't successfully use rosmake?

ready for release in focal/noetic once driver_common is merged/synced

once ros-drivers/driver_common is merged/released, this will be ready for release in focal/noetic

Prosilica as nodelet

Is adding a driver nodelet a planned feature or anyone is already working on it?
I think that it would be viable to have the capability to pass the raw images with zero-copy with image processing nodes.

Indigo release

I am currently working on migrating our software to ROS Indigo and found these packages missing. Will they be released for Indigo?

prosilica_node crashes after running for a while

After running for a while, the prosilica driver thinks that the camera is unplugged and dies. I can reproduce this on a PR2, but haven't tried to reproduce it elsewhere yet.

The timing between problems is inconsistent; a few trials put it around 1-10 minutes.

Using the prosilica driver from debs, version 1.8.2-s1352964595~precise

"Camera handle is invalid" error

When I'm running prosilica_node I get this error:
"Reconfigure callback failed with exception Could not start capture: Camera handle is invalid:
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'prosilica::ProsilicaException'
what(): Couldn't get attribute StatFrameRate: Camera handle is invalid".

I am able to ping camera with no problem. On my second PC with this same camera this node is working fine, there are no errors. Both PCs are working under Ubuntu 14.04 and ros Indigo. Samples from pvapi also work fine. My camera is Manta G28B. What is the problem and what should I do to resolve it?

The problem of launch file

When I launch the launch file,it showed the error:
ERROR: cannot launch node of type [prosilica_camera/prosilica_node]: Cannot locate node of type [prosilica_node] in package [prosilica_camera]. Make sure file exists in package path and permission is set to executable (chmod +x)

Could you please give me some idea how to solve it? Thank you very much!

request for release on melodic

Missing prosilica_gige_sdk command line tools

In hydro all of the command line tools (SampleViewer, ListCameras, etc.) that used to be distributed in the prosilica_gige_sdk package appear to be missing. The package also seems to have been removed from this repository during the cakinization process.

[Noetic Dev Branch] Package Does Not Compile Because Boost Version

It seems ROS Noetic utilized a newer version of Boost than what is used in the prosilica driver nodelet. It seems the version shipped with ROS Noetic now is Version: 1.71.0.0ubuntu2

Tried including the prosilica_driver package from noetic-devel branch in my workspace on my Ubuntu 20 Server, 64 bit machine. I ran into the following issue:

I was able to address one of the issues simply by including format after boost was included (line 52 of prosilica_nodelet.cpp):

#include <boost/format.hpp>

However I still run into more issues, as after that I recompile and get:

I am not a seasoned enough C++ programmer / Boost library user to try contribute more, and was wondering if anyone knew how to go about addressing this issue? I was going to try uninstall Boost and try install an older version, such as 1.54, but in the process I would end up completely uninstalling ROS Noetic, which is not desirable.

Let me know if I can provide any more information to help.
