camera is essential for vision development ...thx if give me a solution

• I khow just create URDF model and read full http://gazebosim.org/tutorials?tut=ros_roslaunch for "Using roslaunch to Spawn URDF Robots". I find sensor files in https://github.com/erlerobot/ardupilot_sitl_gazebo_plugin/blob/master/ardupilot_sitl_gazebo_plugin/urdf/sensors/generic_camera.urdf.xacro, is usefull but some change's needed!

[Ahrovan]

no any suggestion for solve this problem?

[Ahrovan]

I test http://gazebosim.org/tutorials/?tut=ros_urdf sample with gazebo for camera publishing on ros. see below results
gz v7.7 (work sample camera)

gz8 - uctf gazebo (not work camera)

is possible to work SITL with an older version of gazebo (<8) or problem is something else?

[tfoote]

In general it should work on most versions of gazebo. You will need to compile the camera plugin from source against the SITL version of gazebo. All the changes will be pushed upstream. You may need to make sure to use a version of the camera plugin that's using the gazebo8 API not the gazebo7 API.

thx.
Problem solved by using version of the gazebo8 camera plugin.
