filipnovotny / visp_tracker

ROS component wrapping ViSP trackers.

visp_tracker

visp_tracker wraps the ViSP moving edge tracker provided by the ViSP visual servoing library into a ROS package.

This computer vision algorithm computes the pose (i.e. position and orientation) of an object in an image. It is fast enough to allow object online tracking using a camera.

This package is composed of one node called 'tracker' and two additional binaries 'client' and 'viewer'.

The node tries to track the object as fast as possible but needs to be initialized using the client. The viewer can be used to monitor the tracking result.
