Changelog for package robot_calibration

0.8.3 (2024-12-05)

• temporarily depend on libfcl-dev (#187) The new release of geometric_shapes only exec_depends on libfcl, which appears to cause linking issues in building the Debians.
• Contributors: Michael Ferguson

0.8.2 (2024-11-08)

• include tf2_geometry_msgs earlier to avoid missing symbols (backport #182) (#183)
• do not run calibration if no feature finders (#167) due to misconfiguration (for instance, camera_info topic is wrong) the finders may not initialize but the robot will move through all the poses, say it captured all of them, and then have no observations in the output bagfile
• remove redundant keep_last() (#166)
• update checkerboard comment (#160)
• Contributors: Michael Ferguson

0.8.1 (2023-11-25)

• update to tinyxml2 (#159)
  • proper depends, rather than hijacking urdfdom
  • less control over formatting, had to update tests
• fix checkerboard parameter name (#154) recently fixed this parameter to actually work, but the name is still different from ROS1.
• implement chain3d_to_camera2d error block (#153) Second part of #41, adds error block to use data from #152
• Add finder for 2d checkerboard (#152) This is the first step towards completing #41
  • Refactors checkerboard finder to be templated on data type.
  • Uses template specialization to make 2d and 3d variants.
  • Updates test to load both variants.
• properly namespace parameters (#151) These issues were apparently an oversight during the ROS2 port.
• better messages for error_block errors (#150)
• add warning if checkerboard is symmetric (#147)
• fixes for base_calibration based on testing (#138)
• Contributors: Michael Ferguson

0.8.0 (2022-06-25)

• various fixes from on-robot testing (#136)
  • fix topic names in load_bag
  • update DepthCameraInfoManager to read proper parameters from camera node
  • fix path/names for pluginlib portability
  • better debug messages when capturing
  • better debug messages from ChainManager
• add yaml option for storing capture poses (#135)
  • load calibration poses from YAML
  • add test for YAML loading
  • add porting script to get ROS1 bagfiles converted to YAML file
• remove tinyxml from CMake (#134) this is a left over from the XML RPC days
• initial ROS2 port of robot_calibration (#133)
  • port finders to ROS2
  • port optimization to ROS2
  • port tests to ROS
  • reorganize file structure for better clarity around header file usage

  * update readme Major changes for ROS2: * In ROS1, many of the parameters were an array of complex structures - this does not work well with ROS2 and the declaration of parameters. Instead, we use an array of structure names, and then we can declare namespaced parameters for each of the structures.

  • chain model has been renamed to chain3d
• port robot_calibration_msgs to ROS2, update CI (#131)
• enhance alignment (#130)
  • handle NANs in laser data
  • add r2_tolerance
  • add spinOnce so that we can run single threaded
