Libraries

YARP OpenCV (version >= 2.0) spmap (icub library)

We have enabled changes of the image saturation directly from the rpc port (see port description). This has been done (temporary) in order to change the saturation for the bayer images. The command are sent via rpc can be:

sat 1.0 - no changes in saturation
sat x where x is < 1.0 - will decrease saturation until a gray image is obtained
sat x where x is > 1.0 - will increase saturation

Parameters

Command-line Parameters

The following key-value pairs can be specified as command-line parameters by prefixing – to the key (e.g. –from file.ini. The value part can be changed to suit your needs; the default values are shown below.

–from camcalib.ini
specifies the configuration file
–context cameraCalibration
specifies the sub-path from $ICUB_ROOT/icub/app to the configuration file
–name camcalib
specifies the name of the module (used to form the stem of module port names)
For calibration configuration options see: PinholeCalibTool::configure
