I'm trying to use the camera sensor in Gazebo to take images in my simulation and view them in ROS.
Things that Do work:
- I can view the camera images in Gazebo by using the Topic Visualization and select my camera.
- I installed gazebo_ros_pkgs from source.
- If I run for example: 'roslaunch gazebo_ros empty_world.launch' and run 'rostopic list' I will see a list containing Gazebo topics.
The problem is that If I add my model with the camera, no new topic is published (nothing changes in the rostopic list). I suspect the problem has something to do with that the camera plug-in doesn't load properly. As far as I understand, this plug-in is responsible for the publishing to ROS. I noticed that my GAZEBO_PLUGIN_PATH isn't set. I have tried to set my path to the build directory in gazebo_ros_pkgs but that did nothing for me.
I'm completely stuck and would really appreciate any help,
Fred
