If you are doing the Point Clouds 2 part of the tutorial where you are applying a voxel grid filter then yes, it does publish data that you can view through rviz, just add a new Point Clouds 2 and set the topic to /output

So everything with the ros pcl tutorial is working fine? That's good to hear. I don't understand what your question is, if the problem is that you are seeing a black box in the space where there is supposed to be a video the you probably need to update your flash player or something as they should be working fine. If that doesn't work, try a different browser or if your using ubuntu in a virtual machine then try using a browser outside virtual machine.

2013-08-06 05:44:51 -0500 commented answer ROS fuerte PCL tutorial problem

For future problems, a very helpful way of debugging in ros is using rqt_graph, it helps you understand what exactly is happening in the background (is the program subscribed correctly to all the inputs? does it publish everything correctly? if using a series of nodes, where do they stop working? etc...)

2013-08-06 05:35:44 -0500 answered a question ROS fuerte PCL tutorial problem

Hi, what exactly do u mean it's not working, does it give you a specific error? does it have no output?

Here are a few common errors people do while using this tutorial:

  • Forgetting to run roscore (very common mistake for beginners).

  • Did not source their files (making ros unable to recognize it as a stack/package)

  • Use input:=/narrow_stereo_textured/points2 even though that input is specific to a certain type of camera which might not be yours. What kind of camera are you using? If it's a kinect for example then you would want to use input:=/camera/depth_registered/points

  • Are you trying the tutorial one for Point Clouds or Point Clouds 2? The one for Point Clouds does not publish images you can view, while the one for Point Clouds 2 publishes a message of type Point Clouds 2 (if you are trying to view it in rviz make sure that's the type you have chosen to view it).

If none of these are your problem then please give us some more information so that we may be able to understand your problem better.

2013-07-22 12:09:14 -0500 answered a question PointCloud to LaserScan Kinect

It turns out VirtualBox was causing everything to not work properly for some reason. Now I'm using VMware and everything's running fine. What confused me was that I was getting errors that I found online and that even after trying every fix I could find some would still be there. Next step is getting XYZ coordinates of a moving robot, I'll start looking for tutorials right away (I'm still new to ros).

2013-07-19 10:48:20 -0500 asked a question Can't get any data form kinect

So here's the deal,

Whenever I tried using openni_launch, it worked normally, however, when I tried viewing an image using the kinect's rgb or depth camera, or even recording a simple bagfile with data from the kinect, I was unable to see any picture and rosbag does not record any data, and after a few seconds of running "rosrun image_view image_view image:=/camera/rgb/image_color" to get a video feed from the kinect or "rosbag record ..." to record a bagfile, I got this error:

After searching around and trying various fixes, I figured it might be a problem with openni and started using freenect, howver I encountered the same problems, I could not record any data using bagfiles or see any images from the kinect (using rviz or image_view)

Then someone asked me to use something completely unrelated, freenect-glview, however that too gave me a black screen.

lsusb shows that all 3 parts of the kinect are connected and I've been able to control the kinect's motor through ubuntu so I know that there is at least a connection established between both.

Additional Info:

  • I run ROS on Ubuntu using VirtualBox V.4.2.14 and Windows 7 with USB 2 ports

  • I am using ubuntu 12.04 and ROS-Groovy (all up to date)

  • I've had the exact same errors on my Mac OSX Lion

  • When I try using Rviz with the kinect, VirtualBox crashes all together

I would appreciate anyone's help on the matter.

When I use freenect-glview, it tells me:

Kinect camera test ------- Number of devices found: 1 -------- GL thread -------- Write Reg 0x0006 <= 0x00 --------- and opens a black screen, so it doesn't give me any video feed

2013-07-01 12:30:31 -0500 asked a question freenect does not give any feed with kinect

Hi, I'm currently using libfreenect with kinect and all is working except that I cannot record any data using bagfiles or see any images from the kinect (using rviz or other alternatives, in fact, VirtualBox crashes all together when I run rviz with freenect_launch).

I am currently working on windows 7 with the latest VirtualBox and ROS groovy (as of today), am using Ubuntu 12.04 Precise and a USB 2 port for kinect.

lsusb shows me that all devices are connected normally.

I know this is a question that has been asked before however I have tried all the fixes I could find on this forum and elsewhere but nothing has worked:

  1. Ran XnSensorServer in a seperate terminal, killed the process after getting the error and restarted the program.
  2. Tried using different versions of Ubuntu (12.04 and 13.04 - 32 and 64 bits for both).
  3. Tried using ros fuerte and ros groovy.
  4. Tried lubosz and avin2's fixes.

Additional information:

  • "rostopic hz /camera/rgb/image" gives me: "topic [/camera/rgb/image] does not appear to be published yet"

  • I run ROS on Ubuntu using VirtualBox V.4.2.14 and Windows 7 with USB 2 ports

  • I've had the exact same errors on my Mac OSX Lion

  • When I try using Rviz with the kinect, VirtualBox crashes all together

  • I use the latest versions of ROS and openni_launch as of today

  • lsusb shows me that all devices are connected properly

My goal is to ultimately use the kinect with ROS in order to extract XYZ coordinates of a moving robot.
