# BaxterInterface
Bricks for an Rviz based interface for objective sending.
Maintainer: Antoine Harlé antoine.harle@etu.upmc.fr
## What is this ?
This is a ROS package implementing two working ROS modules : rviz_interface & asift_matching
It also include other ongoing non-ROS modules, mostly for test purposes.
### rviz_interface
This ROS modules implements markers and a panel for Rviz for sending StateSpace messages.
### asift_matching
This ROS modules implements a wrapper for a SIFT based algorithm (Affine SIFT). It publish the position of a desired object, defined by its references, on a topic.
Thus refrences are required for the module to work properly. It can be loaded through a text file or a series of images (which paths are defined in the launch file).
* texte reference generation (BaxterInterface/asift_gen folder):
- Add the images used for reference in the "references" folder.
- open asift_match.cpp
- Search at the beggining of the file the "REFERENCE DEFINITION"
- In refData, enter the path/name of your reference images.
- In nb_ref, enter the number of images.
- cmake . && make
- You can now run the program which is going to build the references and try to match with an image given in input : asift_match input.png
- The generated text file will be located in the results folder.
## Status
### Done
### Todo
asift_matching - ASIFT_matcher : Issue on total number of match (after filtering ?).
asift_matching - ROS_matcher : Working loader of images for reference.
asift_matching - ROS_matcher : Improve reactivity. Slow process due to the message queue length ?
asift_matching - ROS_matcher : Swap the callback function to a service called for matching.
## How to use it ?
### Requirements
* ROS Indigo (probably works in other versions too)
* PCL
* QT 5
* Eigen 3
### Usage
* Clone the repository to your catkin src
* catkin_make
#### Simple Rviz interface
* Run : roslaunch rviz_interface interface.launch
* Setup rviz :
- set fixed frame to camera_rgb_optical_frame.
- add an InteractiveMarker and set topic to (server_topic parameter)/update.
- add a Marker and set topic to vizualization_topic parameter.
- add the Rviz interface panel.
#### Rviz interface with simple moving tracker
* Run :
- roslaunch openni_launch openni.launch
- roslaunch rviz_interface interface_plannar_seg.launch
* Setup rviz :
- set fixed frame to camera_rgb_optical_frame.
- add an InteractiveMarker and set topic to (server_topic parameter)/update.
- add a Marker and set topic to vizualization_topic parameter.
- add the Rviz interface panel.
- add a PointCloud2 and set topic to /camera/depth_registered/points.
#### ASIFT matching (no vizualisation)
* Run :
- roslaunch openni_launch openni.launch
- asift_matching : roslaunch asift_matching asift_match.launch
#### ASIFT matching & Rviz interface
* Run :
- roslaunch openni_launch openni.launch
- roslaunch rviz_interface interface_matching.launch
* Setup rviz :
- set fixed frame to camera_rgb_optical_frame.
- add an InteractiveMarker and set topic to (server_topic parameter)/update.
- add a Marker and set topic to vizualization_topic parameter.
- add the Rviz interface panel.
- add a PointCloud2 and set topic to /camera/depth_registered/points.
### Parameters
* The topic names are defined as parameters in the launchfiles.
* rviz_interface parameters are defined as parameters in the rviz_interface launchfiles : Interface objects are defined by their names and types (0-Default, 1-Button, 2-2D object, 3-3D object) (see StateSpace.msg for more details).
* asift_matching parameters are defined as parameters in the asift_matching launchfiles :
-> References are defined by the path to the references files can be a txt file (faster - see texte reference generation in asift_matching section) or a series of images files (slower - currently not working).
-> Tracked object is defined by the object name (must be one of the interface object to work properly with rviz_interface).
-> Number of tilts is defined by an integer value (1-no tilt, 7-recommended value). Higher value means slower process.
-> Standaed deviation filter coefficient is defined by a real value. Keep (1-68%/2-95%/3-99%) of the points statistically. 0: no filtering (default).
