ROS bindings for UnrealCV (see https://github.com/unrealcv/unrealcv). This enables the control of an UnrealEngine instance running UnrealCV using ROS. Still a work in progress, these instructions will be updated as more is implemented.

The package contains two different kinds of nodes, depending on how you want to use the simulator:

• simple_node.py: Defines a single service which takes a geometry_msgs/Pose input and returns a sensor_msgs/Image output that is the scene at the given location
• passthrough_node.py: A more complete node that has Services for the whole UnrealCV API (see http://unrealcv.org/reference/commands.html)

You can run either of these with rosrun unrealcv_ros simple_node.py

Only run one of these nodes at a time, they will compete for links to running UnrealCV instances.

The package contains two example clients, one for each of the nodes described above. They can be found in example_simple_client.py and example_passthrough_client.py.
