Does this package process the original depth image(disparity) from libfreenect? #42

Open cgdsss opened 6 years ago

The raw data obtained from libfreenect using Kinect depth sensor is actually a 11-bit number between 0-2047, called disparity (with unit in kdu--kinect disparity unit), while other libraries like OpenNI provides converted depth data. However, I found that the data in /camera/depth/image_raw is converted real depth(mm) and >2047.But I could not find where the raw data was converted in the code. What's going on? Please help me. thank you
