VisualSensor

Description

This service provides access to the basic capabilities and configuration of a visual sensor, allowing the controlling component to set the visual sensor to a particular operational profile. The Query Sensor Geometric Properties message can be used to determine the geometric relationship between the sensor and the vehicle coordinate system. Three possible coordinate responses are possible; (a) the service does not know the sensor's position, (b) the sensor coordinate system is fixed with respect to the vehicle and (c) the sensor is attached to some manipulator. These cases are supported by the Report Sensor Geometric Properties message and are described therein.
