Stereo Camera

Zed Camera

I was introduced to these cameras during my time at NVIDIA.

• Zed Setup on Isaac ROS https://nvidia-isaac-ros.github.io/getting_started/hardware_setup/sensors/zed_setup.html

Command to sanity check

/usr/local/zed/tools/ZED_Explorer

To preview the depth

/usr/local/zed/tools/ZED_Depth_Viewer

For Zed X

Every time you unplug and replug, you need to run the following

sudo systemctl restart zed_x_daemon

• doesn’t work for me, I need to reboot entirely

Used this for nvblox.

Issues I ran into

Make sure the .zed is the last argument of the dockerargs, after .user

Isaac ROS

https://github.com/stereolabs/zed-ros2-wrapper

colcon build --symlink-install --packages-up-to zed_wrapper

Launching the Zed 2

ros2 launch zed_wrapper zed2.launch.py
