What it does

  • Implements the core sensor communication for the safeVisionary 3D cameras, designed to be reused across different frameworks.
  • Each camera needs a one-time initial configuration, explained in a linked guide using the Safety Designer tool.
  • Provides lean ROS 1 and ROS 2 drivers that build on this library, covering all supported ROS versions.
  • Can be built standalone with plain CMake and linked into a non-ROS C++ application via find_package.
