Problem using fovis on ROS.

[limhyon]

Environment: Ubuntu 12.04, ROS-Hydro.

Hi, I executed openni node by following command. $ roslaunch openni_launch openni.launch And I have made some mappings of topics by followings.

However, I got Segmentation Fault and NO_DATA output.

Hi limhyon,

have you rectified the images? fovis is expecting rectified topics. Otherwise, it will not work.

Take a look here

[limhyon]

Hi. I am using off-the-shelf Kinect for now. I think openni itself has proper calibration data of Kinect. By the way, what launch file are you using for kinect? In my case

$ roslaunch openni_launch openni.launch

[miquelmassot]

Try this launchfile

[limhyon]

I am already using it. But it does not launch openni. I meant what openni launch file was used to get proper rectified image for the Kinect? Thank you for the quick response.

[miquelmassot]

I've now seen in your error that you've changed the depth_registered to "depth". Can you try with the other topic (depth_registered) and with a mono image?

[limhyon]

I've made the launch file as repository. But, I couldn't get depth image. Do you know why? Do I have to run something other nodes to get registered depth images? I can see depth image on rviz but not that topic (/camera/depth_registered/image_rect).

[ WARN] [1402652587.381119721]: [mono_processor] Low number of synchronized image/depth/image_info/depth_info tuples received. Images received: 174 (topic '/camera/rgb/image_rect_mono') Depth images received: 0 (topic '/camera/depth_registered/image_rect') Image camera info received: 175 (topic '/camera/rgb/camera_info') Depth camera info received: 0 (topic '/camera/depth_registered/sw_registered/camera_info') Synchronized tuples: 0

So, could you tell me what exactly did you executed to get odometer data? Just fovis should be not. You might get something other recipes (e.g., some combination of launch file).

[miquelmassot]

You have to enable it in openni node using param depth_registration (bool, default: false) If true, uses OpenNI's factory-calibrated depth->RGB registration.

[limhyon]

What is the purpose of convert_openni_fovis? I can only obtain depth image from /camera/depth_registered/image_raw. Other is not. But the error is following

[ERROR] [1402670819.300889206]: Depth image must be in 32bit floating point format!

Could you please run your side launch file, and confirm it is working?

[miquelmassot]

I didn't understand very well your last post. What do you mean by "Other is not"? Please, read the nodelet information

Nodelet to convert raw uint16 depth image in mm to float depth image in m.

I think that's what you are missing. I cannot test it because I don't have any available kinect.

[limhyon]

Thanks for the reply. Let me clarify my problem.

1. I have clean installed Ubuntu + ROS
2. I turned on depth_registration flag on openni.launch.
3. $ roslaunch openni_launch openni.launch
4. $ roslaunch fovis_ros fovis_hydro_openni.launch

It does not work. Reasons:

1. /camera/depth_registered/sw_registered/camera_info
   • nothing outputs
2. /camera/depth_registered/image_rect
   • nothing outputs

I downloaded Kinect calibration data, and it is located ${HOME}/.ros/camera_info/depth_A00362A04444102A.yaml ${HOME}/.ros/camera_info/rgb_A00362A04444102A.yaml

But how did you wrote fovis_hydro_openni.launch? Why nothing outputs of default launch file?

[miquelmassot]

I've just edited the available launchfile to suit your needs. I cannot try it, but it's the way I think it should work. See it here.

[limhyon]

Thank you very much. Your script provide proper images. However, I got following outputs.

http://pastie.org/9287037

I executed with option launch-prefix="xterm -e gdb --args" to debug.

I got following huge error (with gdb)

I've changed my RGBD driver to freenect, and it seems outputs all things correctly. However, in libfovis, the error occurred. It is very frustrating. Can anyone run current status of fovis_ros and check whether is running or not?

[limhyon]

I found that one difference between working and not working is that Eigen version difference. The one that is working (not from ROS, standalone) prints out Eigen ver:3.2.1 "Eigen ver:" << EIGEN_WORLD_VERSION << "." << EIGEN_MAJOR_VERSION << "." << EIGEN_MINOR_VERSION

But ROS 3.0.5

[limhyon]

I just finished to check whether the Eigen is a problem or not. Actually, it is not a problem. I've compiled fovis standalone with Eigen 3.0.5, it works well. Hmm..

[miquelmassot]

Check that you are using libfovis and fovis, both from github (hydro-devel branch)

If you're using libfovis as a debian package, try to remove it and clone our repo.

I am 100% sure that I've cloned github repository of both libfovis and fovis.

[miquelmassot]

Hi,

I've just downloaded the dataset Sequence 'freiburg1_xyz' from here and tested it with fovis using this launchfile. It's normal that fovis outputs a NO_DATA message once, when it's initializing. Check that the topic

/kinect_odometer/odometry

has something. Can you test the same?

[limhyon]

Ok. I will firstly test sequence. I will let you know the result soon.

In my case, it is also crashed. Same error as Kinect running. What version of linux did you used?

$ lsb_release -a Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS Release: 12.04 Codename: precise

$ uname -a Linux machine 3.5.0-34-generic #55~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jun 7 16:25:50 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

$ rosversion -d hydro.

I think all is okay. But I do not know why it has error.

[miquelmassot]

This is what I have. You may want to update to 12.04.4

$ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS Release: 12.04 Codename: precise

$ uname -a Linux miquel-uib 3.8.0-42-generic #62~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jun 4 22:04:18 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

$ rosversion -d hydro

Ok. I will try 12.04.4 LTS, and see it is working or not.

[limhyon]

Issue resolved. The problem is not figured out thoroughly, but clean installed Ubuntu does not have the problem.

[miquelmassot]

Could you tell the difference between a free install and what you had?
