Hello,

I have a Kinect gazebo model.

I load kinect in gazebo by

rosrun gazebo_ros spawn_model -file `rospack find object_description`/urdf/sensor/kinect_gazebo.xml -urdf -x 0 -y -1 -z 0.8 -R 0 -P 0.5 -Y 1.57 -model kinect

The result I see in rviz is as the image below shows: image description

As you can see, the color of PointCloud2 is different with the image. Coud you please give me some advice? Thanks a lot.

Hello,

I believe the problem is related to the color format: try changing the value within the <format> element (inside <image>) to B8G8R8.

In your image, it seems that the red and blue channels are switched. I'm also using libgazebo_ros_openni_kinect and if I put the format as you currently have, I end up with the same problem. With B8G8R8, it works fine.
