[ros-users] Videre STOC Problem

[Antons Rebguns]

Patrick,

You could also try running the ROS driver videre_stereo_cam in
ua-ros-pkg. Just run roslaunch videre_stereo_cam videre.launch to run
the camera in stoc mode. I am not sure it's going to work since
neither coriander nor svs works, but you can give it a shot.
