Kinect launch in pr2_tabletop_segmentation without tabletop_detector

Hi,

How is Kinect triggered to publish the point cloud in tabletopsegmentation service? I have created a local launch file that calls only the tabletopsegmentation service instead of all the other armnav, manipulations services. Its working fine, but I get an error saying that "no pointcloud2 is found". But when I trigger the `rostopic echo /headmountkinect/depthregistered/points` I see the points and then if I trigger the service it works fine. Is there something to trigger Kinect automatically than call the echo service all the time?

I am using ROS Groovy.

Any hints will be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance

Karthik
