Hello there,

You just have to subscribe to a color stream of the camera and then you can use Opencv or Deep Learning to detect humans.

You can use cv2.HOGDescriptor() for detecting persons.

Thank you for your reply! My aim is to detect a human at a specific distance. For example if a human is 2 metres from the kinect.

So would I be able to measure the distance between the human and kinect as well?

Thank you for your help in advance, I am very new to ROS.
