The software distributed with MARIS Vision is a collection of ROS packages implementing the software of vision system used in MARIS (Marine Autonomous Robotics for InterventionS). MARIS aims at the development of autonomous underwater vehicles capable also of interacting with and in the underwater environment by object manipulation. The Research Unit of the University of Parma has developed the stereo vision system for detection, pose estimation and grasp planning for object manipulation.

The software requires the Robot Operating System (ROS), http://www.ros.org/, and has been tested with ROS Indigo and Jade. Beside ROS tools and libraries, it requires
- Boost
- Eigen 3.0
- OpenCV >= 2.4
- EDLines (included in the project as external library)
The library also requires the third party library EDLines developed by C. Akinlar, which has been included in folder external.
