    # This message defines meta information for a camera. It should be in a
    # camera namespace on topic "camera_info" and accompanied by up to five
    # image topics named:
    #
    #   image_raw - raw data from the camera driver, possibly Bayer encoded
    #   image            - monochrome, distorted
    #   image_color      - color, distorted
    #   image_rect       - monochrome, rectified
    #   image_rect_color - color, rectified
    #
    # The image_pipeline contains packages (image_proc, stereo_image_proc)
    # for producing the four processed image topics from image_raw and
    # camera_info. The meaning of the camera parameters are described in
    # detail at http://www.ros.org/wiki/image_pipeline/CameraInfo.
    #
    # The image_geometry package provides a user-friendly interface to
    # common operations using this meta information. If you want to, e.g.,
    # project a 3d point into image coordinates, we strongly recommend
    # using image_geometry.
    #
    # If the camera is uncalibrated, the matrices D, K, R, P should be left
    # zeroed out. In particular, clients may assume that K[0] == 0.0
    # indicates an uncalibrated camera.

    # It projects 3D points in the camera coordinate frame to 2D pixel
    #  coordinates using the focal lengths (fx', fy') and principal point

    # For monocular cameras, Tx = Ty = 0. Normally, monocular cameras will
    #  also have R = the identity and P[1:3,1:3] = K.
    # For a stereo pair, the fourth column [Tx Ty 0]' is related to the
    #  position of the optical center of the second camera in the first
    #  camera's frame. We assume Tz = 0 so both cameras are in the same
    #  stereo image plane. The first camera always has Tx = Ty = 0. For
    #  the right (second) camera of a horizontal stereo pair, Ty = 0 and
    #  Tx = -fx' * B, where B is the baseline between the cameras.
    # Given a 3D point [X Y Z]', the projection (x, y) of the point onto
    #  the rectified image is given by:
    #  [u v w]' = P * [X Y Z 1]'
    #         x = u / w
    #         y = v / w
    #  This holds for both images of a stereo pair.
