Hello everybody,
I am running two programs at the same time so the computational cost is too high. Hence, i thought in reducing the frame rate of the kinect. I am using openni_launch and fuerte. Does anyone know how to reduce the FPS or whether it is possible?
Thank you very much!
Antonio

You can skip frames to reduce frame rate.
Write this line in the terminal
set param name="camera/driver/data_skip" value="10"
and then run
roslaunch openni_launch openni.launch
This will drop 10 frames and output 2-3Hz data, whereas default value is 0 (which output 30 frames/sec without any dropping)

I tried this and didn't work. Instead I used dynamic_reconfigure with the openni running. Here is the command I used: "$ rosrun dynamic_reconfigure dynparam set /camera/driver data_skip 9"
