Kinect on ROS


Yeterday I bought a Kinect Stereo Camera and started playing with it. It was very easy to start. I only followed the instructions of this Wiki and it worked out of the box, and only had to modify some instructions but it was very intuitive to do.

The instructions are listed n this URL: http://www.ros.org/wiki/openni_kinect

Just in the section when you launch the program for the Kinect you need to launch the following (You don't need to run a roscore):

Go to:

/opt/ros/diamondback/stacks/openni_kinect/openni_camera/launch

The direction can be different if you installed ROS in other directory

And then roslaunch openni_node.launch

Next the process with the rviz is the same, try to use points and RGB so you can get amazing images in 3D.

The first image I got was from my room:



The next two images were from our robotics laboratory in the ITESM CEM:



Now the next step is to work in the algorithm that will allow us to implement stereo vision in ROS, LabView, Java and many other platforms.
