I'm trying to port my work from ROS1 (noetic) to ROS2 (galactic). I've met some problem when I try to implement some custom algorithms (YOLOv5, which is a little complicate, contains many subfolders and scripts) to my image subscriber.
Under ROS1 since the Python node is exactly the executable python script itself, there would be no problems with the imported scripts. But ROS2, via colcon build, the node files to be executed are generated to /colcon_ws/install. Therefore there would be problems about linking our custom python modules to the ros node.

I've already tried to modify the setup.py following these blogs:

  • Including a Python module in a ROS2 package

  • ROS2 Python relative import of my scritps
    and now my setup.py looks like:

    from setuptools import setup from setuptools import find_packages

    package_name = 'yolov5_detect' submodules = 'yolov5_detect/yolov5'

    setup( name=package_name, version='0.0.0', # packages=[package_name, submodules], packages=find_packages(), # include_package_data=True, data_files=[ ('share/ament_index/resource_index/packages', ['resource/' + package_name]), ('share/' + package_name, ['package.xml']), ], install_requires=['setuptools'], zip_safe=True, maintainer='jun', maintainer_email='[email protected]', description='TODO: Package description', license='TODO: License declaration', tests_require=['pytest'], entry_points={ 'console_scripts': [ 'webcam_yolo_pub=yolov5_detect.webcam_yolo_pub:main', 'webcam_yolo_sub=yolov5_detect.webcam_yolo_sub:main' ], }, )

the folder structure:

yolov5_detect
└── yolov5_detect
    ├── image_utils.py
    ├── __init__.py
    ├── webcam_yolo_pub.py
    ├── webcam_yolo_sub.py
    └── yolov5
       └── \utils
       └── \models
├── MANIFEST.in
├── package.xml
├── resource
│   └── yolov5_detect
├── setup.cfg
├── setup.py

and in /install the folder yolov5 is also successfully built. Still, when I run the subscriber node, it complains:

$ ~/ros2_guyue/colcon_ws$ ros2 run yolov5_detect webcam_yolo_sub
Traceback (most recent call last):

    from yolov5.detect_ros import Yolov5Detector
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'yolov5'

the "import" part of my ros node script:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

import rclpy
from rclpy.node import Node

from sensor_msgs.msg import Image
from cv_bridge import CvBridge
import cv2
import numpy as np

from yolov5.detect_ros import Yolov5Detector
from image_utils import *

the "import" part of the custom class script detect_ros.py:

from utils.plots import Annotator, colors, save_one_box
from utils.general import (check_img_size, non_max_suppression, scale_coords, LOGGER)
from utils.torch_utils import select_device, time_sync
from models.common import DetectMultiBackend
import os

I've solved this with the following steps:

    1. modify setup.py to ensure my yolov5 folder also be compiled into /install
    1. modify from xxx import xxx in ALL the relevant scripts in yolov5, add '<package_name>.<submodule_name>. ahead of folder name, like:

    from utils.plots import Annotator, colors, save_one_box

    --> MODIFY: add '<package_name>.<submodule_name>. ahead

    from yolov5_detect.yolov5.utils.plots import Annotator, colors, save_one_box

With this the node can just struggle to run. It's not very elegant. I'm looking for a more efficient way to do so.
