0.1.0 (2014-08-19)

comply to the new NaoNode API
lowered getData frequency
correct path for ros_sonar.py
Export ros_sonar into python package The upper class ros_sonar.py can now be imported via 'import nao_sensors.ros_sonar'
use the newer API when possible
use the new NaoNode API
comply to the newer NaoNode API
added sonar publisher ros_sonar.py as common publisher for any sonar. reusable for different robots nao_sonar.py instantiats the correct sonar for nao
rename the package from nao_camera to nao_sensors
add octomap support
add a dependency on nao_driver for the Python code
Dependency on camera_info_manager_py for the python node
do not poll the image if nobody is subscribed
comply to REP008
add support for 3d camera in Python
make the camera dynamically reconfigurable in Python
move the nao_camera.py script from nao_driver
remove useless rosbuild artefact
Nodelet support for Nao cameras Again, closely build upon camera1394 ROS driver
Make sure we never publish more than the actual camera framerate
Added sample calibration files for Nao cameras OpenCV Calibration for top and bottom cameras, at 160x120, 320x240 and 640x480. The actual calibration needs to be redone for each Nao, but this should be a fair starting point.
Cosmetic refactoring
Remove useless mutex
Only publish frames when someone is listening on the topic This saves a lot of CPU on Nao when images are not needed.
No easy way to go 'local' From a performance point of view, it would be very beneficial to be a NAOqi 'local module' to access the video buffer. It remains to be seen if we can write a ROS nodes that also happen to be a NAOqi local module (that would allow much better performances for the camera node).
Support only RGB8 colorspace If BGR is useful to someone, we can re-introduce it. For now, keep things simple.
Use the Nao TF frames + generate unique calibration files Make sure we generate calibration files different for each resolution/camera
Added support for dynamic reconfiguration of all Nao v4 camera params Only reconfiguration of FPS, resolution, and source requires restart of the driver. Also, correctly unsubscribe/release from the video proxy.
Initial working version This first version supports publishing images from the top camera on Nao. No configurability yet. The nodelet code has been kept, but it is not used/enabled at compilation yet.
