Changelog for package robot_calibration

0.6.0 (2018-07-09)

• install our new tools
• add depend on visualization_msgs
• Merge pull request #63 from mikeferguson/checkerboards_that_work Make checkerboards actually generic
• Merge pull request #62 from mikeferguson/chain_manager_state_fix make sure we get valid joint_states
• make sure we get valid joint_states
  • invalid old state, wait for new message
  • fixes #61
• Merge pull request #59 from saurabhbansal90/master Update led_finder.cpp
• Update led_finder.cpp
• additional tests on camera_info
• fix build in kinetic
• remove entirely unused data functions header
• fix corrupted license file
• additional warning not previously flagged
• buildfarm is really picky, fix another signed comparison
• fix signed comparison warning in tests
• add tool to visualize bagfile
• break out load_bag function for reuse

• towards working checkerboards

  • unhack the checkerboard finder, so that points are in x/y only

  * add free_frames_initial_values parameter for setting initial offset of checkerboard frame

• Merge pull request #52 from mikeferguson/melodic-backport backport changes from melodic-devel branch

• fix OutrageousError This has apparently NEVER worked. The name that was being provided was the error block name, not the name of the parameter to limit.

• add to_rpy tool The YAML file output by calibration represents angles in the internal axis-magnitude notation. RPY tends to be easier for people to understand and visualize.

• add some comments to Camera3dModel In particular, a search for checkerboard should really turn up this important piece of code

• fix test build/warning issues on 18.04

• Merge pull request #50 from guilhermelawless/tf-buffer-member Make TF buffer a class member

• make TF buffer a class member Fixes #48. Sleeping to wait for TFs is no longer needed and was removed.

• Merge pull request #47 from guilhermelawless/fix-checkerboard-visualization Fix checkerboard visualization

• Merge pull request #45 from guilhermelawless/kinetic-devel Allow some time to get TFs in plane_finder

• fix checkerboard visualization msg

• allow some time to get TFs in plane_finder

• add a second error block test, that actually needs to converge

• fix parameter name in test, fork a second copy

• make sure solver ran in test

• fix cmake errors reported by buildfarm, update maintainer email

• attempt to fix test on kinetic

• clean up parameter loading, output printing, README

• convert camera_to_camera into plane_to_plane

• convert ground_plane_error into chain3d_to_plane_error

• convert camera3d_to_arm into chain3d_to_chain3d

• add param/residual checks to error block test

• merge GroundPlaneFinder into PlaneFinder

• make feature finders plugin-based, add tests

• Contributors: Guilherme Lawless, Michael Ferguson, saurabhbansal90

0.5.5 (2018-02-12)

• Merge pull request #36 from guilhermelawless/indigo-devel Fix broken OpenCV linking in ROS Kinetic
• Contributors: Guilherme Lawless, Michael Ferguson

0.5.4 (2018-01-20)

• only add observations when complete
• Adds plane calibration
• minor style fixes, remove outdated comments
• fix warning (#28)
• pick correct sensor in each error block
• use proper indices for multiple finders
• fix: don\'t append observations if finder has failed
• Contributors: Martin G
