Hello all;
My question is simple, but I have not found response in the forum... Is it possible to use openni_tracker package with topics provided by a simulated kinect? I do not have a physical kinect device to use, only topics. Is there any simple way to do this?
Thank yo very much in advance,
Thank you;
The thing is that I have a Gazebo environment with a simulated Kinect. I only have the topics. Is there any option to use openni_tracker and feed it with depth data directly?
thankx,
Alberto
I don't know the answer to that question. You might want to re-ask your question saying that you are trying to use Gazebo with a simulated Kinect to feed openni_tracker. Your original question wasn't very clear on that point.
Also, you shouldn't create an answer to just clarify/ add more information, all answers should be answers. The standard is to add this information via edits to the original question.
All openni_tracker really does is send the transforms from the Kinect's camera_depth_optical_frame to each of the joints on the users using tf. It would be pretty easy to write a simple program to do this using artificial values. Another nice alternative would be to obtain a bag file of recorded openni_tracker transforms. Then you could simply play that data back to simulate the data. I could make you a bag file of just /tf data using openni_tracker if you needed.
