Dear all,

I am trying to use the Diamondback's package openni_camera_unstable to visualize the depth or my Asus Xtion.

Following the tutorial presented on the wiki always results in the following trace:

$ roslaunch openni_camera_unstable openni.launch 
... logging to /home/raph/.ros/log/1d23db16-a71c-11e0-96f5-0013a98db3d0/roslaunch-DTI-NB014-1972.log

which somehow make sense as the device does not have any RGB camera. Still, if I try to understand the file openni_driver.cpp, I see that given the vendor Id, the device should be recognize and no Image generator should be created:

 if (vendor_id == 0x45e)
    {
      device = boost::shared_ptr<OpenNIDevice > (new DeviceKinect (context_, device_context_[index].device_node,
                                                                   *device_context_[index].image_node, *device_context_[index].depth_node,
                                                                   *device_context_[index].ir_node));
      device_context_[index].device = device;
    }
    else if (vendor_id == 0x1d27)
    {
      if (device_context_[index].image_node.get())
        device = boost::shared_ptr<OpenNIDevice > (new DevicePrimesense (context_, device_context_[index].device_node,
                                                                         *device_context_[index].image_node, *device_context_[index].depth_node,
                                                                         *device_context_[index].ir_node));
      else
        device = boost::shared_ptr<OpenNIDevice > (new DeviceXtionPro (context_, device_context_[index].device_node,
                                                                       *device_context_[index].depth_node, *device_context_[index].ir_node));
      device_context_[index].device = device;
    }
    else
    {
      THROW_OPENNI_EXCEPTION ("vendor %s (%s) known by primesense driver, but not by ros driver. Contact maintainer of the ros driver.",
                              getVendorName (index), vendor_id);
    }

would anyone has any idea on what to try?

thanks in advance

Good news. Thanks for the info.

I've traded emails with Suat Gedikli at Willow Garage, and he has implemented a workaround for this issue. He is going to add it to the ROS package in the next day or so.

Comment by prp on 2011-07-11:
I am having the same problem. As far as I can tell, the code listed above never executes, as the exception is thrown (openni_driver.cpp line 116) before it gets here. Have you made any progress on this?

Ok, I gently prodded Suat Gedikli, and he updated the main trunk last night. If you install the openni_kinect stack:

$rosinstall ~/ros /opt/ros/diamondback 'http://www.ros.org/wiki/openni_kinect?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=openni_kinect.rosinstall'

then rosmake it, it should work with the Xtion Pro (it does for mine). Big thanks to Suat!
