Hello folks,

I am tring to use the AR_TRACK_ALVAR (version 0.5.1) on my Indigo version with Ubuntu 14.04.1 64 bits.

I already have used this package on Fuerte and it works perfectly. However, I have experienced some drawbacks on Indigo version.

I get it on git repository and compile, and these steps goes ok.

When I show the markers, the node (individualMarkersNoKinect) identifies the tagIDs, but the package can't estimate its positions and orientations (it present only zeros).

I'm using the usb_cam package as I did on Fuerte.

I already look my TF Tree and saw that everything probably runs OK, as in the image:

I did calibration of the camera adjusting the KDRP parameters and I had succesful on this step.

This is the launch file that I have used.

By this description, can you tell what is going wrong or what am I missing?

Thank you.

Can you edit your question to add the version of software you use? E.g. dpkg -p ros-indigo-ar-track-alvar?

Greetings, we didn't install it with apt-get. We download the package with GIT using the URL informed at the ROS website: https://github.com/sniekum/ar_track_a... We compile it with catkin. The version in the manifest package.xlm is "0.5.1".
