Can you get the stitiched image from ROS driver?

[kevinlisun]

Hi

I am interested in buying THETA S twin fisheye camera. I am wondering whether the images you got is stitched panoramic image or just from one of the cameras?

Btw, is 15fps the best frame rate can achieve?

Thanks,
Kevin

Hi

Thank you for your question.
You cannot get stitched image from ros driver (usb_cam).
You must implement yourself.

I am working on a theta s camera to run in ros.
I wonder if you have succeeded in obtaining flat panoramic images with theta s camera.

@kevinlisun

I can't obtain flat panoramic images. I can only obtain dual fisheye images with theta s.
If you want to obtain flat panoramic images, you have to use a theta z1 or v camera.
