Hi! I'm having some troubles using the amcl_demo.launch, because i need to get the depth information from the camera/depth/image which the openni.launch initializes (and is initialized by amcl_demo.launch). But using the amcl_demo.launch the only topic i can acess to get this depth data is camera/depth/image_raw, but nothing happens in it apparently (i checked using image_view).
I've checked at this question and followed the instructions by changing that parameters in amcl_demo.launch but i still can't make this work.
Using the openni.launch, it's possible to get the depth information perfectly from the topic /camera/depth/image. To get the depth data as well as i did from /camera/depth/image (from another topic like /camera/depth_registered/image_raw), do i need to convert the image before using ?
My code calculates the distance from an object, and with the /camera/depth/image launched by openni.launch it's possible to calculate as follow (not exactly this, i just copied the important parts):
cv_bridge::CvImagePtr Dest;
Dest = cv_bridge::toCvCopy(img);
ROI = Dest->image(cv::Rect(rect));
cv::Scalar average = cv::mean(ROI.at<float>());
I'd like to know how can i calculate the distance from the topic /camera/depth/image_raw, or another one that provides the depth information. (changing as less as possible this code)
EDIT: With depth_registration activated in amcl_demo.launch, the topics /camera/depth_registered/image_raw and /camera/depth_registered/image doesn't publish data, the only one publishing is /camera/depth/image_raw but its type does not follow the one i'm using, i've tried to convert using this: Dest = cv_bridge::toCvCopy(img,sensor_msgs::image_encodings::TYPE_16UC1); but i got 0 meters distance.
What am i doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!
