Fixed Frame [map] does not exist when running with Freiburg RGBD dataset

[btyu]

When I launch the launch_freiburg_dataset.launch with the rosbag "rgbd_dataset_freiburg3_long_office_household.bag", the rviz report error: no tf data. Fixed Frame [map] does not exist.

I didn't edit the launch file. It seems that no tf data can be found or no tf frame is set. Meanwhile, there is nothing shown in the rviz as expected, except the grid. How can I fix it? Thanks a lot.

Check the list of frames in RVIZ http://wiki.ros.org/rviz/UserGuide what frames are available?

Thank you for your reply. I don't know how exactly to check the list of frames but maybe it's:

• kinect
• openni_camera
• openni_depth_frame
• openni_depth_optical_frame
• openni_rgb_frame
• openni_rgb_optical_frame
• world

In the launch file, "base_transform" is set to "/world", but the rviz shows "Fixed Frame [map] does not exist". When I try to change the text into "/world" or other text, it changes back soon. When I run rosrun tf static_transform_publisher 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 1.0 map world 100 as this suggests, the Fixed Frame becomes "OK" in rviz, and when I run rosrun tf view_frames, the generated pdf starts to show something like this. However, still nothing appears in the 3D space of rviz.

I am new to rviz and ros. I don't know how to solve the problem. Thanx a lot ;)

I believe that the launch file I gave you should be publishing things in world frame. There is no map frame. set the fixed frame in RVIZ to world. Then add topics for the chisel mesh (it's of type Marker) and other topics published by chisel to see the output.

Thank you. I guess I ignored the setting of fixed frame, and didn't add the marker so I didn't see anything. Thanks a lot! Now it works.
