I am trying to create a really simple stereo test with two cheap usb cameras.  I understand the basics of using the stereo_proc and calibration packages, but what I want to know is what is the best way to go about creating the actual stereo node that publishes the images.  Is it possible to use two gscam or usb_cam(or something similar) and remap the topics to look like a stereo camera?  I am not really sure how the calibration data would get stored used if I did this.<br>
<br>Or would it make more sense to write an intermediate node that grabs images from two running usb_cam nodes and publishes them as left/right stereo image topics (and receives/processes/publishes the calibration data correctly)?  Is there already a package to do this somewhere?<br>
<br>At this point, my test will be static, so I am not concerned about syncing images or timestamps being absolutely correct.<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Jeff Hyams<br>RE2, Inc.<br>
