[rolling] image_publisher: add field of view parameter #985

@Kotochleb Kotochleb commented May 26, 2024

Currently, the default value for focal length when no camera info is provided defaults to 1.0 rendering whole approximate intrinsics and projection matrices useless. Based on this article, I propose a better approximation of the focal length based on the field of view of the camera.

For most of the use cases, users will either know the field of view of the camera the used, or they already calibrated it ahead of time.

If there is some documentation to fill. please let me know.

This PR should be straightforward to port it to Humble, Iron and Jazzy.

Do you mind to target rolling ? then we can backport this to the other distros.

@ahcorde the changes were retargeted to rolling as requested, plus I added documentation for the new parameter since this branch accounts for that.

camera_info_.k = {1, 0, static_cast<float>(camera_info_.width / 2), 0, 1,

// Based on https://learnopencv.com/approximate-focal-length-for-webcams-and-cell-phone-cameras/
double f_approx = (camera_info_.width / 2) / std::tan((field_of_view_ * M_PI / 180) / 2);

is the default value 50 returning 1 ? as the current behavior ?

It doesn't, and I forgot to account for breaking changes. I changed it now so when FOV is 0 or less, it disables the whole feature and uses 1.0 for focal length instead. The default vale is now zero as well, so now the whole thing is not breaking anything.

Currently, the default value for focal length when no camera info is
provided defaults to `1.0` rendering whole approximate intrinsics and
projection matrices useless. Based on [this
article](https://learnopencv.com/approximate-focal-length-for-webcams-and-cell-phone-cameras/),
I propose a better approximation of the focal length based on the field
of view of the camera.

For most of the use cases, users will either know the field of view of
the camera the used, or they already calibrated it ahead of time.

If there is some documentation to fill. please let me know.

This PR should be straightforward to port it to `Humble`, `Iron` and
`Jazzy`.
