ros_astra_camera
ROS wrapper for Orbbec Astra 3D cameras, enabling depth sensing and point cloud generation in ROS Kinetic, Melodic, and Noetic.
What is ros_astra_camera?
ros_astra_camera is a ROS (Robot Operating System) wrapper package for Orbbec Astra series 3D cameras. It enables these depth-sensing cameras to publish depth, color, and infrared image streams as ROS topics, generate point clouds, and provide extensive hardware control through ROS services. It solves the problem of integrating affordable 3D sensing hardware into ROS-based robotics and computer vision pipelines.
Robotics researchers, ROS developers, and computer vision engineers working with 3D perception who need to integrate Orbbec Astra cameras into their ROS-based systems for applications like SLAM, object recognition, or robotic manipulation.
Developers choose this package because it provides official, maintained support for Orbbec hardware within ROS, offers low-level camera control through ROS services, supports multiple cameras simultaneously, and integrates seamlessly with standard ROS tools like RViz and calibration systems.
