Is it possible to have the ZED ROS2 Wrapper accept a camera stream from a remote Device?

Or do i need to send my ROS Topics over the network connection?

Currently Running the SDK 5.1.1 with ROS2 Humble on a Jetson Orin AGX 64GB and a Stereolabs Zedbox mini 16GB as Stream sender.

Hi @MM10,

Yes, it’s possible to use the stream.stream_address and stream.stream_port values in the config file to receive a streaming input from a remote source into the ROS2 wrapper.

More information on this in the docs here: ROS 2 - ZED Stereo Node - Stereolabs

Thank you,

as the Stream is going over UDP to the ROS2 Wrapper, is there any way to make sure, that the Images used by the ROS2 Wrapper are current images sent out by the Streamer. Not any old images stuck in a buffer somewhere?

All messages of the ROS2 wrapper are stamped with the streamer capture timestamp given by sl::getTimestamp() method, so you could check these values to be sure that the data are not too old.
