Running distributed RGBDSLAM [closed]

edit

I am having the same problem as the one title "Running rgbdslam over multiple machines":

"

Hi,

I am trying to run rgbdslam over a distributed ROS system, running the openni nodes on a laptop aboard an iRobot Create with a kinect and running rgbdslam on a desktop computer. When I run rosrun rgbdslam rgbdslam (or roslaunch rgbdslam kinect+rgbdslam, or a modified launch file I made that is the same as kinect+rgbdslam but doesn't start the openni stuff), the GUI loads fine, I get no errors, but it always sits with blank screens in a 'waiting for image/motion' state.

Both computers can ping and ssh into each other and other applications (such as gmapping, amcl, and others) work fine when distributed like this (the data collection and minimal processing on the laptop, and heavier processing on the desktop). Furthermore, I can view the various camera streams from the kinect on the default topics on the desktop with image_view. I also can view rxgraph and the info on the various topics that rgbdslam needs and it all appears fine (identical to when I run everything on the desktop and it works).

Furthermore, as implied by the above comment, I can run rgbdslam on the desktop with a handheld kinect and it works fine.

The desktop and laptop are both running x64 Lubuntu 11.10. We're using ROS electric, and the current builds of rgbdslam and openni.

Is there any reason rgbdslam will not work distributed like this, or am I just doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance

But I am using openni2_camera by kalectro on my odroid u3 because I couldn't stream the depth at rgb images at the same time and this fixed that problem. (github/kalectro/openni2_camera)

I am also using ros hydro on my odroid u3 and fuerte on my laptop. I edited the openni_launch to not include the openni_camera node.

I run the openni2_camera_node on my odroid and run my edited openni_launch and rgbdslam on my laptop. Viewing interconnections through rxgraph make everything seem in order, I can also view the inputs through image_view to rgbdslam such as the camera/rgb/image_rect_color and camera/depth_registered/image_rect.

However in my openni_launch I get these repeated warnings:

[ WARN] [1401676151.213846313]: [image_transport] Topics '/camera/depth/image_raw' and '/camera/depth/camera_info' do not appear to be synchronized. In the last 10s:

[WARN] [1401676152.345141890]: TF exception:

Frame /camera_rgb_frame exists with parent /camera_link.
Frame /camera_depth_optical_frame exist with parent /camera_depth_frame.

I tried to use timeSync but it still is not working with the rgbdslam however, when using the timeSync there are no more warnings. I've been trying to make this work for quite a while now. Help would be much appreciated. :)

Thanks in advance!
