Is Psi Pose necessary for openni tracker to track?

Hi,

I am using openni_tracker for some part of my project. However, the fact the openni_tracker does not work unless it detects Psi Pose is very annoying. Is there a way I can avoid making Psi Pose and still track using openni_tracker?

Much appreciated.

Edit 1: I have ubuntu 12.04 and NITE-Bin-Dev-Linux-x86-v1.5.2.23 installed.

Slight lead that may or may not help you out: in the paper "STALKERBOT: Learning to Navigate Dynamic Human Environments by Following People" they say:

"Although early versions of the OpenNI skeleton tracker required users to surrender to the kinect in order for tracking to begin, recent versions allow the saving and loading of user calibration files."

And I think this is the paper's ROS webpage: http://wiki.ros.org/cyphy_people_mapping
