The depth image isn't (usually) what you want; you usually want the point cloud, which has units of meters.

The slow recording is trickier to diagnose; are there known issues with USB speeds on macbooks in Linux?

Hi, the value of 10000 is the maximum depth in millimeters. Thats not a software limit, but a limit given by the hardware. Also the value is somewhere given in the OpenNI/PS-Engine libraries. As "Mac" mentioned, the point clouds published by the node is already in meters in the corresponding coordinate frame.

While the point cloud is "calibrated", there is no internal mechanism in the driver to output rectified images. However, you can use image_proc to do this. This answers is about where to get the parameters.

I use the openni SimpleViewer, the depth value is 10000 max. Can somebody tell me what's the value stands for? Why it's not 2047 max ? I find that there is an SampleConfig.xml, how to configure my kinect?

When I use openni sample viewer to view the kinect images, I find that the depth can mapped on the color image. But I did not find the camera intrinsic and transfer parameters of the kinect. Can kinect provide calibrated images directly?

Hi, the output depth image is a floatingpoint image containing the depth values in meters. So, what format did you use to save them and read them back? Did you maybe use gray scale images instead?

Hi,

I use rosbag to record the information from a kinect camera, then I export the depth image from the bag file, but the image pixel value seems wrong with just a few values like 0,1,2. I don't know why. Does anybody can help me?

changed Eigen3 to Eigen in all the following files, freiburg_kinect-experimental/rgbdslam/manifest freiburg_kinect-experimental/rgbdslam/src/ node openni_listerer graph_manager

They have made changes recently.

Hi,

I install ubuntu10.10 independently on my macbook pro. And ROS unstable with Openni_kinect. (I know the unstable is a little old, but I am sure it is not the reason.)

I could only get a very low frame rate when use a kinect camera, with the command of rosbag record -a, I find that the frame rate is just about 3fps. Even when I just record a single topic, the fps is still low, is about 8 fps, with a extremely big file.

I still have another problem that when I get the depth image with my kinect, I could only get a few depth value like 0,1,2,3,4,5.

Can you help me about this?

Regards Wei
