Package Summary

This app utilises pano_ros for taking snapshots and stitching them together to create panorama pictures.

New in groovy

To be documented.

Get started

To learn how to use this package, take a look to the TurtleBot panorama tutorial

ROS API

pano_app

Creates panorama pictures from stitched snapshots

Subscribed Topics

pano_app/take_pano (std_msgs/Empty)
  • start the panorama creation with predefined parameters
pano_app/stop_pano (std_msgs/Empty)
  • stop the panorama creation
pano_app/odom (nav_msgs/Odometry)
  • retrieves the robot's odometry to calculate when to take snapshots and when to stop
pano_server/stitch (sensor_msgs/Image)
  • retrieves the stitched image from the pano_ros action server (via ImageTransport)

Published Topics

pano_app/log (std_msgs/String)
  • extra logging via rostopic
pano_app/panorama (sensor_msgs/Image) pano_app/cmd_vel (geometry_msgs/Twist)
  • velocity commands for rotating the robot
pano_server/snap (std_msgs/Empty)
  • triggers the pano_ros action server to take a snapshot
pano_server/stop (std_msgs/Empty)
  • triggers the pano_ros action server to stop taking snapshots and start the stitching process

Services

pano_app/take_pano (turtlebot_panorama/TakePano)
  • start/stop the panorama creation with user defined parameters
