good day everyone.

I'm curious (actually in desperation) on why i'm not able to see

/camera/rgb/image_raw/compressed

node when I launch up..

roslaunch turtlebot_bringup 3dsensor.launch

and output from lsusb and lsusb -t.

I'm using an Asus Xtion Pro Live camera.

Im working on a turtlebot-android project on Ubuntu 12.04, ROS Hydro which has a Teleop app on Play Store. As of now, I'm able to successfully control my turtlebot using the VirtualJoystick but I'm unable to receive the camera view.

The image view is subscribing to:

 /camera/rgb/image_raw/compressed

but my 3dsensor.launch does not show

/camera/rgb/image_raw/compressed

node in the terminal when i launch.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you :)

/camera/rgb/image_raw/compressed is a topic, not a node. Topics don't appear in the roslaunch output.

With the 3dsensor.launch file running, you should be able to confirm that a node is publishing on this topic with:

rostopic info  /camera/rgb/image_raw/compressed

This will also tell you if any nodes are subscribed to this topic.

If your nodes and publishing and subscribing to the topic, but the subscriber isn't seeing any data, it may be useful to confirm that data is being published with:

rostopic hz  /camera/rgb/image_raw/compressed

EDIT

The output from your 3dsensor.launch file suggests that there is something wrong with the setup for your sensor. You can try plugging it into a USB2 if you have one, and checking the device permissions. The output of lsusb and lsusb -t may be useful here.

EDIT

It looks like you're using an Asus from within a virtual machine. Given that the openni sensors tend to be sensitive to USB issues and use most of the USB bus bandwidth, I'm not too surprised that it doesn't work. (It probably isn't supported by your virtualization software)

@ahendrix, i was mistaken about the nodes and topic. I'm aware of that now. thank you. i did the rostopic info /camera/rgb/image_raw/compressed and the publisher itself is camera_nodelet_manager. not /camera/rgb/image_raw/compressed.

syaz nyp fyp ( 2014-08-07 04:05:18 -0500 )edit

Additionally, as far as I know, trying to display /camera/rgb/image_raw/compressed will not work, as that stream is compressed. What you can instead do is rosrun image_transport republish compressed in:=camera/rgb/image_raw out:=/output_topic_name, and subscribing to that output topic...

ahubers ( 2014-08-07 11:28:42 -0500 )edit

@syaz-nyp-fp - can you add the output from lsusb and lsusb -t to your question?

ahendrix ( 2014-08-07 23:54:01 -0500 )edit

@ahendrix, appreciate your time. have updated the question.

syaz nyp fyp ( 2014-08-10 20:14:28 -0500 )edit

Sorry - It looks like you tried to add the output from lsusb, but it looks like it failed to post or something.

ahendrix ( 2014-08-11 13:51:57 -0500 )edit

@ahendrix, I'm sure i did post. I've had my mates to view it too.

syaz nyp fyp ( 2014-08-12 19:52:56 -0500 )edit

On my system, running the lsusb command gives me output like:

$ lsusb Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 003 Device 002: ID 138a:0017 Validity Sensors, Inc.

Bus 003 Device 006: ID 17ef:100f Lenovo Bus 003 Device 007: ID 045e:0750 Microsoft Corp. Wired Keyboard 600

I don't see anything like that in your question.

@ahendrix, i've re-edit and repost. have it the question now. :)

Looks like you have the newer version of the Xtion which works with openni2. You might first have to install the openni2 packages sudo apt-get install ros-hydro-openni2*

Make a local copy of 3dsensor.launch, and change the line

<include file="$(find openni_launch)/launch/openni.launch">

<include file="$(find openni2_launch)/launch/openni2.launch">

Some of the arguments you see in the include tag under that line may not line up between openni and openni2 as well, so you'd need to update/remove them as necessary.

Thanks for your time @paulbovbel. But i'm already aware & had openni2 installed and changed the 3dsensor launcher way months back.

syaz nyp fyp ( 2014-08-12 22:16:38 -0500 )edit

I tried to launch openni2 instead of 3dsensor too but to no avail. The topic

/camera/rgb/image_raw/compressed

is publishing

camera_nodelet_manager

instead of the topic itself which the android app is subscribing to. Not camera_nodelet_manager.

Any suggestions @paulbovbel? :)

syaz nyp fyp ( 2014-08-12 22:18:43 -0500 )edit

That is the correct publisher for that topic. The problem is that the driver isn't able to talk to your device, probably because you're trying to use the openni drivers from inside a virtual machine.

ahendrix ( 2014-08-13 00:46:22 -0500 )edit

That would do it :) Good eye
