2014-01-28 17:28:56 -0500 marked best answer How to know which object roboearth is seeing

Hi!

I'm new with roboearth. I've already created some models in my computer and I have also succeded when trying to detect the object. The problem is: when I load different models and I put the detector to work, is there any way to know which object is being detected? I mean, is there a service/node/something that says "I've detected a box", "I've detected a can", etc. ?

Any help is welcome! Thanks!

2014-01-28 17:28:15 -0500 marked best answer RoboEarth installation using rosinstall

Hi,

I'm trying to install RoboEarth on my Ubuntu 10.10 and I'm following the steps at the wiki page. Somewhere along the line, I have to use the command rosinstall, but it doesn't work. When I try sudo apt-get install python-rosinstall , I get the following error:

E: Unable to locate package python-rosinstall.

If I try the command sudo pip install -U rosinstall, I get the message:

sudo: pip:command not found.

What should I do?

I'm a beginner, so any help is welcome! Thanks!

EDIT: After michikarg's help, I was able to run rosinstall but I'm still having problems with the installation process. Some of the dependencies were not found, even some that are already installed such as libqt4-dev.

Here is the log message (by the way, I'm using ROS Electric):

Hi everyone!

I've been using ar_pose on ROS Fuerte for some time, but I want to update and start working with ROS Hydro. However, ar_pose doesn't work when using Groovy and Hydro.

Is there any update or any changes that should be made in order to have it working?

Thanks!

2013-06-07 00:17:31 -0500 marked best answer Can't get correct position of ARMarkers

Hi everyone!

I'm using ar_pose to identify some markers. It identifies the markers correctly (pattern 1, 2, etc.), but their positions are not very good. The distance is not being correctly assigned. I guess this is not ar_pose's problem.

See the image below:

image description

Could it be a depth_registration issue?

Also, I tried calibrating my camera (kinect) following these tutorials:

1) rgb calibration

2) IR calibration

If couldn't make myself clear, please, tell me, so that I can explain it better.

I would really appreciate if someone could help me!

Thanks!

2013-06-06 04:53:19 -0500 asked a question Pioneer3-AT Rviz/urdf model

Hi everyone!

I am running a SLAM simulation using a Pioneer3-AT and it would be usefull if I had the pioneer's model on Rviz. That is, is there a way or a place where I can get a model of the P3-AT running on Rviz (urdf?) ? My objective is to have the real pioneer working on real world and a "picture" of him running on Rviz (in the same position as my "\base_link").

I know there is p2os_urdf, but the model it gives is not exactly the one I want. Is there an easy way to edit this model into the one I want?

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to get the image from my Fire-i400 1394 camera. In order to do that, I am using the following comands:

$ rosrun camera1394 camera1394_node

$ ROS_NAMESPACE=camera rosrun image_proc image_proc

$ rosrun image_view image_view image:=camera/image_rect_color

and this should give me the images, with color. But I'm getting the following message:

Color topic '/camera/image_color' requested, but raw image data from topic '/camera/image_raw' is grayscale

then, the images come up, but they are on grayscale.

Does anybody know why it is happening? What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!
