ROS package for iniVation Dynamic Vision System's dv-sdk.
Use dv-sdk to process event streams in ROS.
-
Use dv-sdk
accumulatorfunctions in ROS. -
Use
rqt_reconfigureto modify the accumulating parameters online. -
Support
dvs_msgs/EventArrayandcelex_msgs/EventVectorevent stream message. -
Process multiple event streams in one ROS node, and config different parameters for each stream.
-
Install the
iniVation dv-runtimeon your computer firstly. -
Check the celex5_msgs and dvs_msgs dependence. If you don't have them, just clone and add the msgs package into your ROS workspace.
-
Clone the repository in your ROS Workspace, can then just build it.
Use the prepared config file: davis240.yaml:
roslaunch dv_ros davis240.launchor
rosrun dv_ros dv_ros_node /path/to/the/davis240.yamlYou can process multiple event streams in one ros_node,
the parameter num_of_event_stream specific the number of event streams you want to process.
The event stream can be capture from different device, such as DAVIS or CeleX.
Then you can config different parameters for each stream by using eventN_ formulation.
The meaning of accumulate parameters can be found here.
Below is an example config file for stereo davis346 with different config:
