ROS Driver for USB Video Class Cameras

libuvc_camera is a ROS driver that supports webcams and other UVC-standards-compliant video devices. It's a cross-platform replacement for uvc_camera, a Linux-only webcam driver.

Documentation is available on the ROS wiki: libuvc_camera.

H.264 support

H.264 support(as video_mode:=h264) via gstreamer.
Need gstreamer pulgin/development pacakges to build and run.

• If you installed libuvc from source, check here for fix cmake module file.
• Tested on NVIDIA Jetson and Intel with iGPU platforms.

Example

Capture 2K image from THETA V

$ rosrun  libuvc_camera camera_node  _vendor:=0x05ca _product:=0x2712 _width:=1920 _height:=960 _frame_rate:=29.97 _video_mode:=h264

To reduce the system workload, you can reduce frame rate to 1/n of the original (where n is a natural number).

$ rosrun  libuvc_camera camera_node  _vendor:=0x05ca _product:=0x2712 _width:=1920 _height:=960 _frame_rate:=29.97 _video_mode:=h264 _frame_rate_reduction_ratio:=2

or, you can scale down output image size.

$ rosrun  libuvc_camera camera_node  _vendor:=0x05ca _product:=0x2712 _width:=1920 _height:=960 _frame_rate:=29.97 _video_mode:=h264 _out_width:=1280 _out_height:=640
