[ros-users] problems with image_proc using a modified camera

[James Bowman]

Hi Dave,

you can actually use the slider in the  cameracalibration app to do this
border operation for you.  Tutorial:

http://www.ros.org/wiki/camera_calibration/Tutorials/MonocularCalibration

I've just added a paragraph (copied from the corresponding StereoCalibration
tutorial) to make this clearer:

After a successful calibration, you can use the slider at the top of the
calibration window to change the size of the rectified image. A scale of 0.0
means that the image is sized so that all pixels in the rectified image are
valid. The rectified image has no border, but some pixels from the original
image are discarded. A scale of 1.0 means that all pixels in the original
image are visible, but the rectified image has black borders where there are
no input pixels in the original image.
