1 開發環境

Ubuntu 12.04

ROS Hydro

2 前提

可參考這篇blog：http://blog.csdn.net/yake827/article/details/44564057

已安裝adrone_autonomy package 而且能夠執行

https://github.com/AutonomyLab/ardrone_autonomy

文檔：http://ardrone-autonomy.readthedocs.org

已通過catkin創建一個package （方法見上一篇文章）這裏我創建的名稱為droneTest

3 欲實現效果

獲取ar drone的攝像頭實時圖像而且能夠進行處理

4 參考網頁

5 詳細實現Step-by-Step

Step 1：在~/catkin_ws/src/droneTest/src/ 中創建一個新的文件這裏命名為droneTest.cpp

Step 2: 編輯droneTest.cpp文件，代碼例如以下：

#include <ros/ros.h>
#include <image_transport/image_transport.h>
#include <sensor_msgs/image_encodings.h>
#include <cv_bridge/cv_bridge.h>
#include <opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp>
#include <opencv2/imgproc/imgproc.hpp>

using namespace
 
 std;
using namespace cv;

static const char WINDOW[]="RGB Image";
static const char WINDOW2[]="Gray Image";

void process(const sensor_msgs::ImageConstPtr& cam_image){
cv_bridge::CvImagePtr cv_ptr;
try
{
  cv_ptr = cv_bridge::toCvCopy(cam_image,sensor_msgs::image_encodings::BGR8);
}

catch (cv_bridge::Exception& e)
{
  ROS_ERROR("cv_bridge exception:%s",e.what());
  return;
}

Mat img_rgb = cv_ptr->image;
Mat img_gray;

cvtColor(img_rgb,img_gray,CV_RGB2GRAY);

imshow(WINDOW,img_rgb);
imshow(WINDOW2,img_gray);
cvWaitKey(1);
}

int main(int argc, char **argv){
ros::init(argc,argv,"droneTest");
ros::NodeHandle n;
image_transport::ImageTransport it(n);
image_transport::Subscriber image_sub = it.subscribe("/ardrone/image_raw",1,process);

cv::namedWindow(WINDOW);
cv::namedWindow(WINDOW2);
ros::spin();
return 0;
}

這裏使用cv_bridge的toCvCopy來實現格式轉換。很easy

Step 3：編輯CMakeLists.txt

主要目的是加入依賴和加入opencv庫

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.3)
project(droneTest)

find_package(catkin REQUIRED COMPONENTS
  roscpp
  std_msgs
  sensor_msgs
  cv_bridge
  image_transport
)


catkin_package()

find_package(OpenCV)
include_directories(
  ${OpenCV_INCLUDE_DIRS}
)

include_directories(include ${catkin_INCLUDE_DIRS})
add_executable(droneTest src/droneTest.cpp)
target_link_libraries(droneTest ${catkin_LIBRARIES} ${OpenCV_LIBRARIES})
add_dependencies(droneTest droneTest_generate_messages_cpp)

Step 4:編譯

編譯catkin。在terminal中輸入：

cd ~/catkin_ws
catkin_make
這裏說明一下就是package.xml這個文件改不改不影響，我發現甚至把裏面的dependency都刪掉也能夠make。

接下來是執行

這裏我為了執行方便一般把package拷貝到~/workshop下

然後把~/catkin_ws/devel/lib/droneTest 拷貝到~/workshop/droneTest下。這裏我的ROS_PACKAGE_PATH 包括~/workshop

我在bashrc中有加入例如以下代碼：

source /opt/ros/hydro/setup.bash
export ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=$ROS_PACKAGE_PATH:~/workshop
Step 6：執行

1打開一個terminal執行roscore

2 連接ar drone

3 再打開一個terminal執行rosrun ardrone_autonomy ardrone_driver

4 再打開一個terminal執行rosrun droneTest droneTest

ok了
