Automatic calibration of NITE

I am using skeleton tracking to track movements of a human body. Now the person has to stand everytime in the PSI pose before the program can track this user. I really would like to do this calibration part automatically and according to NITE this should be possible. The code that I use is form here: http://wiki.ros.org/openni_tracker. The version of NITE and openni should support this feature. I already tried to change FeatureExtraction.ini, but this did not help. I am using ROS kinetic.

I hope that somebody can give me a good advise.

Kind regards, Jordy

I never used the PSI pose with openni tracker (from fuerte to indigo). It should work without it.

  • Download the NITE 2 package and unzipping the archive
  • Install it using the install.sh script as root
  • Clone the openni_tracker (1 or 2) and compile it

but it requires PSI Pose to calibrate when i do that, i actually was asking about details for how to enable the auto calibration and not having to make on the PSI Pose

I don't know. When I run the package it says that it needs the PSI pose, but actually it starts to work also without it.
