Revision history [back]

First of all you need to know what you exactly mean by "the distance between the sensor and the person". Is it the distance to the closest person joint? To the person torso?

In any case, if you take the transform between any joint and "openni_depth_frame", you can calculate the distance of that joint to the sensor by getting the norm of the translation vector with sqrt(x²+y²+z²).
