Many research robotic platforms rely on industrial cameras for image acquisition. The ROS ecosystem contains many unmaintained camera drivers for GigE and USB3 industrial cameras, which can make the initial setup of the image pipeline difficult. In this talk, we will look at acquiring images from GenICam cameras using the recently updated camera_aravis package. You will learn more about the Image Signal Processing (ISP) pipeline and learn the meaning of the terms Demosaicing, Gain, White Balance, Exposure Time and Black Level in practical demonstrations.
