This installation process is compatible with ubuntu distros. The application is tested with hydro and indigo versions of ROS
http://wiki.ros.org/hydro/Installation/Ubuntu
http://wiki.ros.org/indigo/Installation/Ubuntu
(from now on chande depending on wich one you installed)
$ sudo apt-get install ros-<rosversion>-rosbridge-server
$ sudo apt-get install ros-<rosversion>-mjpeg-server
$ echo 'export ROS_IP=$(ip addr | grep '"'"'state UP'"'"' -A2 | tail -n1 | awk '"'"'{print $2}'"'"' | cut -f1 -d'"'"'/'"'"')' >> ~/.bashrc
$ echo export ROS_MASTER_URI=http://<MASTER'S URL>:11311 >> ~/.bashrc
Python 2.7 is needed for the Catkin package handler. It is recommended to create a virtual environment for your Python installation. Once it's done, install the following dependencies:
$ pip install catkin_pkg
$ pip install empy
$ pip install pyyaml
$ pip install rospkg
$ pip install pillow
$ pip install envoy
$ pip install exifread
Because ROS Indigo uses an old version of PIL to work, you must setup a proxy to the new Image module as such:
$ echo "from PIL.Image import *" >> <your-python-site-packages>/Image.py
TODO: Improve this.
$ cd <this-repo>
$ cd server/src
$ catkin_init_workspace
$ cd ..
$ catkin_make
$ catkin_make install
$ source ./install/setup.bash
$ roscd camera_master_server
$ ln -s ../../../src/camera_master_server/scripts/* ./
$ ln -s ../../../src/camera_master_server/launch/* ./
$ roslaunch camera_master_server.launch
The client holds the camera drivers and publishing nodes. It must be install on every system connected to a camera.
This setup takes for granted that you have already installed a Linux distribution on your system.
Install ROS Hydro using the following instructions: http://wiki.ros.org/ROSberryPi/Setting%20up%20Hydro%20on%20RaspberryPi
Then, install the following packages (This may take a lot of time!):
$ cd ~/ros_catkin_ws/src
$ roslocate info common_msgs | rosws merge -
$ roslocate info actionlib | rosws merge -
$ roslocate info class_loader | rosws merge -
$ roslocate info pluginlib | rosws merge -
$ roslocate info cv_bridge | rosws merge -
$ roslocate info image_transport | rosws merge -
$ rosinstall_generator opencv2 --deps | rosws merge -
$ rosws update
$ cd ..
$ rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src --rosdistro hydro -y --os=debian:wheezy
$ ./src/catkin/bin/catkin_make_isolated --install
$ sudo apt-get install python-picamera daemontools
$ echo ‘source /opt/ros/hydro/setup.bash ’ >> ~/.bashrc
will generate camera-network folder and generate key to the server:
$ git clone https://github.com/lvsn/CameraNetwork.git
$ cd camera-network/<client-or-server>/src
$ catkin_init_workspace
$ cd ..
$ catkin_make
$ catkin_make install
$ ln -sv ~/camera-network/client/src/camera_controler/launch ~/camera-network/client/install/share/camera_controler/
$ ln -sv ~/camera-network/client/src/camera_controler/param ~/camera-network/client/install/share/camera_controler/
$ ln -sv ~/camera-network/client/src/camera_controler/scripts/*.py ~/camera-network/client/install/share/camera_controler/
$ ln -sv ~/camera-network/client/src/camera_drivers/launch ~/camera-network/client/install/share/camera_drivers/
$ ln -sv ~/camera-network/client/src/camera_drivers/scripts/*.py ~/camera-network/client/install/share/camera_drivers/
$ sudo ./gphoto2-updater.sh
$ sudo apt-get install python-gobject bluez bluez-tools python-bluez python-dev
In /etc/bluetooth/main.conf, change the following line
#DisablePlugins = network,input
to :
DisablePlugins = network,input,audio,pnat,sap,serial
Restart Daemon.
$ sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart
Configure camera_control.launch as you need: (the param file can be changed) (the camera control launch file can be changed to picam or gphoto)
