Lookup would require extrapolation into the past. Requested time 7.175000000 but the earliest data is at time 7.334000000, when looking up transform from frame [camera_rgb_optical_frame] to frame [world].

edit

Hey. I am trying to transforms point cloud from /camera_rgb_optical_frame frame to /world frame but getting below error:

[ERROR] [1593113184.201010787, 12.387000000]: Lookup would require extrapolation into the past.  Requested time 7.175000000 but the earliest data is at time 7.334000000, when looking up transform from frame [camera_rgb_optical_frame] to frame [world]

Many people have faced this problem before and there are also solutions given for this, but unfortunately it's not working in my case. I recently started working on ros transform.

Output of rosrun tf view_frames:

Code:

class CloudTransformer
{
public:
  explicit CloudTransformer(ros::NodeHandle nh)
    : nh_(nh)
  {
    // Define Publishers and Subscribers here
    pcl_sub_ = nh_.subscribe("/camera/depth_registered/points", 1, &CloudTransformer::pclCallback, this);
    pcl_pub_ = nh_.advertise<sensor_msgs::PointCloud2>("/transformed_point_cloud", 1);

    buffer_.reset(new sensor_msgs::PointCloud2);
    buffer_->header.frame_id = "/world";
  }

private:
  ros::NodeHandle nh_;
  ros::Subscriber pcl_sub_;
  ros::Publisher pcl_pub_;
  tf::TransformListener listener_;
  sensor_msgs::PointCloud2::Ptr buffer_;

  void pclCallback(const sensor_msgs::PointCloud2ConstPtr& pcl_msg)
  {
    try{
      listener_.waitForTransform("/world", (*pcl_msg).header.frame_id, (*pcl_msg).header.stamp, ros::Duration(5.0));
      //listener_.waitForTransform("/world", "camera_rgb_optical_frame", ros::Time::now(), ros::Duration(5.0));

    }catch(tf::TransformException &ex){
      ROS_WARN("%s",ex.what());
    };

    pcl_ros::transformPointCloud("/world", *pcl_msg, *buffer_, listener_);
    pcl_pub_.publish(buffer_);
  }
};

A little help or guidance would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
