PCL Kinfu in ROS Hydro

asked 2014-03-20 10:22:08 -0600

atp gravatar image

Is there a way to use Kinfu from PCL in ROS Hydro? The only package that I can find is pcl17. However, this seems to be for Fuerte.

Can I safely install PCL 1.7 from the PCL website along ROS Hydro or will there be conflicts between the PCL libs included in ROS and the original libraries?

Step by Step (tested with Ubuntu 12.04 and ROS Hydro; ros, ros version of pcl and cuda are installed!):

source /opt/ros/hydro/setup.sh
mkdir pcl_workspace && cd pcl_workspace && catkin_make_isolated
mkdir -p src/pcl/ && cd src/pcl
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ros-perception/perception_pcl/groovy-unstable-devel/pcl/CMakeLists.txt
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ros-perception/perception_pcl/groovy-unstable-devel/pcl/package.xml
sed -i '/GIT_TAG/d' CMakeLists.txt
cd ../..
catkin_make_isolated

You can use our KinFuLS ros Wrapper (e.g. with kinect):

cd src && svn checkout http://fsstud.is.uni-due.de/svn/ros/is/kinfu && cd .. && catkin_make_isolated
source devel_isolated/setup.sh
roslaunch kinfu kinfu.launch

Great! Does that work on Hydro?

Hi, If I run $catkin_make_isolated it displays: Could not find source space: /home/meng/pcl_workspace/src

It seems that it works! But how could the KinFu be visualized? Using Rviz???

yes, you can use rviz. Subscribe to /camera/kinfuLS/depth

Hi Michael,

I was trying to compile the PCL in the way that you suggested. However, I got the following errors that I don't know how to fix, could you help me?

make[5]: * [octree/CMakeFiles/pcl_octree.dir/src/octree_inst.cpp.o] Error 1

Cansen, I need more information, please copy the error message

Hi Michael, I just found out the bug. To solve the problem, I need to change the cmake file: pcl-trunk → cmake → pcl_find_sse.cmake. replace "-march=native" with "-march=corei7". This solution can be found in pcl mailing list.

Thanks a lot! Cansen

Just curious what is Kinfu? I was wondering just yesterday if installing PCL would mess up my hydro I have already installed, so I will be curious to see answer to this question. Thankyou

Thanks Kinfu and TSDF cloud looks really interesting.

Just install ros-hydro-pcl-ros and it will pull in the correct version of pcl.

Yes, but that won't make Kinfu available, right?

atp gravatar image atp  ( 2014-03-20 13:25:08 -0600 )edit

It's version 1.7.0 from the pcl debian packages. I don't know where Kinfu is in PCL's distributions.

It seems to me that it is not included. To get it in PCL, you have to compile PCL with specific flags.
