cob_people_detection No connection to server 'load_model_server'

Hello,

I am following the Quick Start for cobpeopledetection in readme.md. When launching

roslaunch cobpeopledetection people_detection.launch

everything launches fine but I have error saying: "[ERROR] : Recognition model not trained." Which should be normal because I haven't done any training so far. So, when running :

rosrun cobpeopledetection peopledetectionclient

I have error: No connection to server 'loadmodelserver'. It appears that server 'loadmodelserver' is launched in facerecognizernode.cpp , BUT ONLY if there is trained data! So there is a loop, I can not train data without that server, and there is no server without trained data??

What am I missing? Should I use some other launch file or some other client to train the data first?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your interest. One of my colleagues just fixed the bug.

Please check https://github.com/ipa320/cob_people_perception/commit/f69c19e265f95ad1cef0ccccf7faaf50a9e75348

Try the combination of the following packages:

https://github.com/ipa320/cob_people_perception/tree/indigo_dev-with-dlib

and

https://github.com/ipa320/cob_perception_common

and build them (with catkin_make) in a new catkin workspace (for sure). Do not forget to install all dependencies for both packages and than execute source setup.bash in devel folder.

I assume you're working with ROS Indigo and (x)ubuntu 14.04 (like me). I had the same problem.

Good luck

Hi, we solved the problem. Just download the current version of cob_people_perception from github. Unfortunately, an error was introduced in one of the commits some months ago.
