screen_grab

Capture the screen and publish it on a ROS sensor_msgs/Image topic

Currently this runs as a nodelet. screengrab.launch shows an example launch file, it will probably need to be copied and altered for integration in a real system.

roslaunch screen_grab screengrab.launch

A nodelet image display window will also pop up showing the captured image of the screen, and of course rqt_image_view or any image subscriber can be used.

The built package is available for jade:

sudo apt-get install ros-jade-screen-grab

But building for hydro and indigo ought to work.

CHANGELOG

Changelog for package screen_grab

0.0.2 (2016-01-26)

0.0.1 (2016-01-22)

  • Looks like opencv imshow can\'t be used from two nodelets in the same group.
  • Fixed nodelet xml for image show, now it works
  • Install launch files. It looks like image_view has some problems \'Could not create object of class type image_show::ImageShow as no factory exists for it.\'
  • catkin_lint cleanup
  • New image_show was useful for debugging screen_grab nodelet, may move elsewhere later, also is much less cpu than image_view or rqt_image_view. ScreenGrab ndelet is now fully operational. #5
  • Looks like the setting/getting of parameters is working now (and maybe can be simplified further), but I haven\'t run image view as a nodelet yet. I have discovered that connecting to the nodelet manager with a bad node name brings it to a halt (am I not printing output to screen for it?), so maybe my image view command isn\'t right. If nodelets are that brittle then they become a lot less useful whatever the performance gains.
  • Nodelet merged with roi code, also dr is using private namespace.
  • Implemented nodelet #5, but need to merge with RegionOfInterest changes
  • #4 RegionOfInterest control in parallel to dynamic reconfigure.
  • Now dynamic reconfigure is working, though it would be nice to see if I can set slider maximums at start time and override the cfg.
  • Now can set the update rate dynamically, there is no Rate::set method but it can just be overwritten with new Rate instance.
  • Putting all parameters into a namespace, make sure everything uses relative namespace names
  • Have a launch file that also launch image_view
  • Using ros parameters to set x,y,width, & height, next add defaults to new launch file.
  • Taking code from vimjay screencap to work here, this does no conversion yet.
