Hey,

I am trying to run a leg_detector2 package from here:

http://code.google.com/p/wu-robotics/source/browse/#svn%2Ftrunk%2Fpeople2

Has anyone had success to run it with kinect? I think that it should not be the problem. I successfully remapped kinect's laser scan to base_scan. But now I don't now how to read or visualize detected legs or any data produced by leg_detector.

I would really appreciate if anybody has any tips.

Thank you.

I successfully run it with some minor adjustments. First you have to edit your launch file and add to start openni, pointcloud_to_laser_scan and remap kinects laser scan from scan to base_scan. To properly show the data in rviz I modified all .cpp and .py files to change fixed_frame from odom_combined to camera_depth_frame. Maybe you won't have to do that if you actually use odom_combined. In the end don't forget to rosmake it. Now you should be able to show leg detection in rviz by adding MARKER.

Hi Grega

I just ported the leg_detector2 package to work with Hydro and the Kinect:

I have an ERROR at compiling the package.

[ rosmake ] WARNING: The following args could not be parsed as stacks or packages: ['leg_detector']

No worries, did you clone the entire directory? e.g. git clone https://github.com/jdddog/people.git And make the stack (not just one package): rosmake people It also needs to be in your rosbuild workspace because I haven't had time to port it to catkin.

Thanks, @James Diprose If following you, compiling succeeded.

Sorry, I don't have it any more. I started using different method for human detection. I hope you can modify existing leg detector with my tips above. You should be able to run it.
