Software

The ROS software to acquire data from the cameras is provided in Ipcam.tar. Inside the package you can find a readme with instructions and notes. Changes in resolution, fps or other camera parameters need to be requested. A map regarding the cameras' position in the 8th floor is also provided. The numbers in the map correspond to the last IP numbers and to the info that needs to be passed to the roslaunch.

This software can be run in a server in ISR in order to reduce some possible computation effort (and then one just need to subscribe to the topic in the server's IP). This option also need to be requested. For initial tests (and throughout the project) there is no problem in running the software in a personal PC.

Note that in order to acquire data from the cameras one need to be in the ISR network.
