Twist and /tf listener question
I'm making a /tf listener that listens the output of a kinnect device.
I'd like to publish the velocity of the /lefthand1 child of the /tf. So far, looking at the Transformer::lookupTwist
function, I have these bits figured out but am missing pieces:
Transformer::lookupTwist("/left_hand_1",
"/torso",
"reference_frame",
"reference_point",
"reference_point_frame",
ros::Time::now()+ros::Duration(0.1),
"ros::Duration()",
vel_msg);
Format of the Transformer::lookupTwist can be found here. My question is about the "referenceframe", "referencepoint", "referencepointframe", parts of the function... what do they refer to? Is the "referenceframe" the same as how I would observe the "/tf" values in rviz? ie, "opennicamera"...? What about the "referencepoint" and referencepoint_frame"?
Thank you for the help.
