GSCam 
This is a ROS package originally developed by the Brown Robotics
Lab for broadcasting any
GStreamer-based video stream via the
standard ROS Camera API. This fork has
several fixes incorporated into it to make it broadcast correct
sensor_msgs/Image messages with proper frames and timestamps. It also allows
for more ROS-like configuration and more control over the GStreamer interface.
Note that this pacakge can be built both in a rosbuild and catkin workspaces.
GStreamer Library Support
gscam supports the following versions of GStreamer
0.1.x: Default
Install dependencies via rosdep.
1.0.x: Experimental
Dependencies:
- gstreamer1.0-tools
- libgstreamer1.0-dev
- libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev
- libgstreamer-plugins-good1.0-dev
Ubuntu Install:
12.04
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gstreamer-developers/ppa
sudo apt-get install gstreamer1.0-tools libgstreamer1.0-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev libgstreamer-plugins-good1.0-dev
14.04
sudo apt-get install gstreamer1.0-tools libgstreamer1.0-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev libgstreamer-plugins-good1.0-dev
Usage:
- Use the CMake flag
-DGSTREAMER_VERSION_1_x=Onwhen building - See the Video4Linux2 launchfile example for an example of the differences in the GStreamer config lines
Notes:
- This has been tested with
v4l2src
ROS API (stable)
gscam
This can be run as both a node and a nodelet.
Nodes
gscam
Topics
camera/image_rawcamera/camera_info
Services
camera/set_camera_info
Parameters
-
~camera_name: The name of the camera (corrsponding to the camera info) -
~camera_info_url: A url (file://path/to/file,package://pkg_name/path/to/file) to the camera calibration file. -
~gscam_config: The GStreamer configuration string. -
~frame_id: The TF frame ID. -
~reopen_on_eof: Re-open the stream if it ends (EOF). -
~sync_sink: Synchronize the app sink (sometimes setting this tofalsecan resolve problems with sub-par framerates).
C++ API (unstable)
The gscam c++ library can be used, but it is not guaranteed to be stable.
Examples
See example launchfiles and configs in the examples directory. Currently there are examples for:
-
Video4Linux2: Standard
video4linux-based cameras like
USB webcams.
-
GST-1.0: Use the roslaunch argument
GST10:=Truefor GStreamer 1.0 variant
-
GST-1.0: Use the roslaunch argument
- Nodelet: Run a V4L-based camera in a nodelet
- Video File: Any videofile readable by GStreamer
-
DeckLink:
BlackMagic
DeckLink SDI capture cards (note: this requires the
gst-plugins-badplugins)

GSCam
This is a ROS package originally developed by the Brown Robotics
Lab for broadcasting any
GStreamer-based video stream via the
standard ROS Camera API. This fork has
several fixes incorporated into it to make it broadcast correct
sensor_msgs/Image messages with proper frames and timestamps. It also allows
for more ROS-like configuration and more control over the GStreamer interface.
Note that this pacakge can be built both in a rosbuild and catkin workspaces.
GStreamer Library Support
gscam supports the following versions of GStreamer
0.1.x: Default
Install dependencies via rosdep.
1.0.x: Experimental
Dependencies:
- gstreamer1.0-tools
- libgstreamer1.0-dev
- libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev
- libgstreamer-plugins-good1.0-dev
Ubuntu Install:
12.04
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gstreamer-developers/ppa
sudo apt-get install gstreamer1.0-tools libgstreamer1.0-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev libgstreamer-plugins-good1.0-dev
14.04
sudo apt-get install gstreamer1.0-tools libgstreamer1.0-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev libgstreamer-plugins-good1.0-dev
Usage:
- Use the CMake flag
-DGSTREAMER_VERSION_1_x=Onwhen building - See the Video4Linux2 launchfile example for an example of the differences in the GStreamer config lines
Notes:
- This has been tested with
v4l2src
ROS API (stable)
gscam
This can be run as both a node and a nodelet.
Nodes
gscam
Topics
camera/image_rawcamera/camera_info
Services
camera/set_camera_info
Parameters
-
~camera_name: The name of the camera (corrsponding to the camera info) -
~camera_info_url: A url (file://path/to/file,package://pkg_name/path/to/file) to the camera calibration file. -
~gscam_config: The GStreamer configuration string. -
~frame_id: The TF frame ID. -
~reopen_on_eof: Re-open the stream if it ends (EOF). -
~sync_sink: Synchronize the app sink (sometimes setting this tofalsecan resolve problems with sub-par framerates).
C++ API (unstable)
The gscam c++ library can be used, but it is not guaranteed to be stable.
Examples
See example launchfiles and configs in the examples directory. Currently there are examples for:
-
Video4Linux2: Standard
video4linux-based cameras like
USB webcams.
-
GST-1.0: Use the roslaunch argument
GST10:=Truefor GStreamer 1.0 variant
-
GST-1.0: Use the roslaunch argument
- Nodelet: Run a V4L-based camera in a nodelet
- Video File: Any videofile readable by GStreamer
-
DeckLink:
BlackMagic
DeckLink SDI capture cards (note: this requires the
gst-plugins-badplugins)
