System crash after launching ROS2 ZED_Multi node

Hi all,

We have a Jetson Orin AGX 64GB with Jetpack 6.0 and ROS2 humble. When I start the ZED multi node with the corresponding camera types and the respective serial numbers, the entire system crashes regularly. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t.

The node always crashes at the same output in the terminal, see photo.

Does this possibly have something to do with the settings in the config files (yaml), or has anyone already observed the same behaviour?

it seems that the problem is related to the mapping. if the mapping flag in the config file is set to false, then the node works…

Are you performing a multi-camera mapping?

Hi @Myzhar

yes we have four ZED X stereo cameras, therefore we perform multi-camera mapping. We have not yet calibrated the cameras with ZED360, but I’m not sure if that has an impact…

ZED360 is a tool to be used for outside-in multi-camera extrinsic parameters setup, and the provided information must be used with the sl::Fusion module that is not used in the ROS 2 wrapper.
You cannot use it to configure a robot multi-camera setup because you need all the cameras looking at the same target point from different points of view.
You must manually configure your robot URDF.
This section of the ROS 2 documentation can help you.
