class gazebo_plugins::GazeboRosCamera : public CameraPlugin, private DepthCameraPlugin, private gazebo_plugins::MultiCameraPlugin 

A plugin that publishes raw images and camera info for generic camera sensors. It can also be configured to publish raw depth images, point cloud and camera info for depth camera sensors. Also configurable as multi camera sensor. Example Usage:

<plugin name="plugin_name" filename="libgazebo_ros_camera.so">
  <!-- Change namespace, camera name and topics so:
         Images are published to: /custom_ns/custom_camera/custom_image
         Camera info is published to: /custom_ns/custom_camera/custom_info
         Trigger is received on: /custom_ns/custom_camera/custom_trigger
  -->
  <ros>
    <namespace>custom_ns</namespace>
    <remapping>image_raw:=custom_img</remapping>
    <remapping>camera_info:=custom_info</remapping>
    <remapping>image_trigger:=custom_trigger</remapping>
  </ros>

  <!-- Set camera name. If empty, defaults to sensor name -->
  <camera_name>custom_camera</camera_name>

  <!-- Set TF frame name. If empty, defaults to link name -->
  <frame_name>custom_frame</frame_name>

  <!-- Set to true to turn on triggering -->
  <triggered>true</triggered>
