Sick Safevisionary Base

This is the C++ driver library for SICK safeVisionary 3D cameras. It implements the core functionality of the sensor communication for usage in different frameworks.

Sensor configuration

Each camera needs an initial configuration once to get started. Here’s a brief explanation how to do that.

ROS1/2 usage

There are two lean drivers that cover all supported ROS versions. You’ll find them here:

• sick_safevisionary_ros1

• sick_safevisionary_ros2

Standalone build and usage

You can also use this library in your non-ROS C++ application. In a suitable directory, get this package with

git clone https://github.com/SICKAG/sick_safevisionary_base.git

Navigate into the freshly cloned package and call

mkdir build && cd "$_"
cmake ..
make

to build the library with plain CMake. You can then include this library in the CMakeLists.txt of your application with the usual functionality:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.10)
project(your_application)

# Find the base library as a dependency
find_package(sick_safevisionary_base REQUIRED)

# Link your application against the library
target_link_libraries(your_application
  sick_safevisionary_base::sick_safevisionary_base
)
