[ros-users] Running stereo_image_proc

[Homer Manalo]

I wanted to view stereo images using the stereo_image_proc but I always get
three blank windows(disparity, left, right). I am using the uvc_stereo
driver for two separate webcams. I am assuming that this driver fakes the
synchronization. The driver also publishes the topics at this format:
/left/image_raw, /right/image_raw so I typed in ROS_NAMESPACE=/, am I right
on this? The stereo_image_proc window is also displaying an error: "[ERROR]
[1295580006.697030969]: [stereo_image_proc] Rectified or stereo topic
requested, but cameras are uncalibrated." Should I get the cameras
calibrated first? Is there any way I can run it without calibrating, just
for simple testing? Here's the node info if it can help:
