All,

Any ideas on how I would stitch or "sew" 4 kinect images together making ONE panoramic image in rviz?

Thanks, Andy

could you expound on that a bit? the machine tag seemed like a logical place to start, but i'm not sure of the syntax to remotely run rviz from my master to my workstation

shade: thank you, but I am months beyond the point of the "network setup" for master -> workstation comunication....im writing code that remotely launches multiple kinects in rviz from my master system to my workstation via a single "roslaunch" command

That is correct. Any thoughts on how to do this?

All,

Is there a way I can launch a launch file on the master that runs rviz on my workstation?

If so, could you provide an example?

Thank you! Andy

Does anyone know about a USB Graphics card that has drivers that function in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS? The graphics card on my PC does not support multi-display functionality in Ubuntu OR RViz feeds from the kinect sensor...

Any suggestions on a good USB graphics card with Linux drivers?

Thanks! Andy

All,

I see on the ros.org website that the Sick LMS1xx & LMS2xx sensors are supported in ROS:

1. Does anyone know if the new Sick LMS5xx sensor is supported?
2. Does anyone know of a 360 degree Sick sensor supported in ROS?

Thank you in advance! Andy

All,

I am trying to get two (2) kinects to display camera data in rviz. I run the below commands to set distinction between the kinects:

(kinect #1) roslaunch openni_launch openni.launch device_id:#1 camera:=kinect1 (Kinect #2) roslaunch openni_launch openni.launch device_id:#2 camera:=kinect2

1. Both kinects show up in rviz properly.
2. I can add two instances of the camera display type, setting them to display kinect1 and kinect2
3. When I set the "Global Options" parameter to "kinect1_link", I can see the camera from kinect1, but not kinect2; the same goes the other way around.

What do I need to do to be able to see both kinects display in rviz?

Thanks in advance! Andrius

Thanks guys, i'll play with distances and field of view and see if I can make improvements on the image being displayed, and eliminate the "shadow" I am seeing.

georgebrindeiro,

Thank you for your response! That makes sense, and that is what I thought it was. But I see videos of pointcloud data being displayed seemingly without the "shadow" appearing. Would that have something to do with environment/distance/angle the kinect is looking at?

Thank you for your assistance. Andy

All,

I have a Kinect sensor displaying pointcloud2 data in rviz with RGB8 Color transformer mode using /camera/depth_registered/points topic. Image looks great except for a large shadow appearing offset of all objects within the Kinect's field of view.

I would like to remove this, as it would interfere with object detection I would assume?

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance!
