I want to create a 3D point from the depth frame in camera coordinates and use therefore the freenect_stack package. Do I have to do the multiplication with the intrinsic matrix manuelly (known from calibration)? I spotted a topic/node(?) which is called depth points . I subscribed via see output below: but what does the numbers mean?

I cannot make sense of the data. another example of the last points:

  ...   , 0, 0, 192, 127, 0, 0, 192, 127, 0, 0, 0, 0]
  is_dense: False

These are four points but two of them are 0,0,0. This cant be ok?
