That depends on what kind of cameras they are.

Yes, unless someone has already written one.
I was afraid you'd say that. ;-)

The extra ROS wrapping for publishing camera data does not involve
much additional code, but does require a basic understanding of the
image pipeline. So, study the interfaces and look at examples of other
drivers, then ask more questions.
Thank you, I will.
BTW, is there a "mock" camera module, that I can feed AVIs or other video to simulate a camera?
This will help me with debugging and also with understanding the whole pipeline.
Thanks,
