Tutorial With RealSense

This tutorial demonstrates how to perform depth-camera based reconstruction using a Realsense camera and disparity_node.

Note

This tutorial requires a compatible RealSense camera from the list of available cameras.

  1. Complete the RealSense Setup Tutorial.

  2. Open a new terminal and launch the Docker container using the run_dev.sh script:

    cd ${ISAAC_ROS_WS}/src/isaac_ros_common && \
      ./scripts/run_dev.sh
    
  3. Inside the container, install isaac_ros_stereo_image_proc

    sudo apt-get install -y ros-humble-isaac-ros-stereo-image-proc
    
  4. Run the launch file, which launches the example, and wait for 10 seconds.

    ros2 launch isaac_ros_stereo_image_proc isaac_ros_stereo_image_pipeline_realsense.launch.py
    

Here is a screenshot of the result from running the example:
