What 3D Cameras Are You Using With ROS2?

Yes, Isaac ROS 3.0 release with support for Jetpack 6 was out end of May.

This includes support for multi-camera setups, which AI based perception functions depend on for a surround 3D understanding of the robot and its environment. Surround 3D perception is needed for higher levels of autonomy. Multi-camera setups are a common practice in the self driving industry, and this is available natively in ROS 2 :camera: using hardware acceleration and the appropriate hardware design.

Eight 2mp cameras across from 4x Hawks for a total of 527 megapixels / second

We measure multi-camera performance to <100us time synchronization between cameras in ROS 2 at the image topic level

Several 3D camera solutions including Hawk, RealSense, Orbec, and LIPS support this, but it needs to be designed into the robot | platform.

Thanks
