Asus 1000 Kinect

freenect

• ROS freenect stack
• ROS freenect launch
• ROS freenect camera

Install

 apt-cache search ros | grep freenect
 
 sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-freenect-stack
 sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-freenect-launch

Test

Currently running in root to get the kinect to connect.

 roscore
 roslaunch freenect_launch freenect.launch
 rosrun image_view image_view image:=camera/rgb/image_color
 rosrun image_view disparity_view image:=/camera/depth_registered/disparity

I saw the image but no depth map.

Also tried this but it errored out and referred to the next launch.

 roslaunch freenect_launch kinect_frames.launch
 roslaunch rgbd_launch kinect_frames.launch

openni

 sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-openni-camera
 sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-openni-launch

Same test as above. There was no image or depth map.
