Hi all,

I am currently using ASUS Xtion on 64 bit ubuntu 14.04 and ROS indigo, and trying to implement skeleton tracking using openni and openni_tracker. The version of my Xtion is old one, so mine works for both openni_launch and openni2_launch. I have OpenNI 1.5.4.0, OpenNI 2.2.0, NITE 1.5.2.23, and NITE 2.2. I've been using them to get either openni_tracker or openni2_tracker working, but I wasn't able to. I literally tried lots of combinations that I can come up for this but I don't get it why.

Since there is not much information on openni, is there anyone who has succeeded in implementing either openni_tracker or openni2_tracker on ROS indigo? I guess kinect or Xtion doesn't matter for this problem. Any advice or experience would be really appreciable. Thanks in advance!

--edit If you see link text, it mentions the possibility of removing NITE library from openni_tracker. Do you guys think openni_tracker(or openni2_tracker) without NITE library can be achievable?

have you had any success with this? I am trying to make the openni_tracker work on ROS indigo with Kinect. I installed the package from the source and it compiled. When I run it, the Kinect detects the user and the Psi pose, but it doesn't publish anything on the /tf topic, actually there is no /tf topic.

Hi, I have just tested this packages. Actually just download the openni_tracker package from the git and catkin_make it in my workspace.

Also install Nite v 1.5.2.23 with the instruction of the Git page.

And

roslaunch openni_launch openni.launch

rosrun openni_tracker openni_tracker

Luckily it succeeds!
