I'm trying to convert a bag file generated from intel RealSense D415 to PCD (or any point cloud) that I can use and manipulate on CloudCompare. I'm using the command:

rosrun pcl_ros bag_to_pcd <input_file.bag> <topic> <output_directory>

It's actually executed but when I go to the output directory it's actually empty.

I'm using the bash shell on windows 10, and ROS Kinetic Desktop-Full Install.

BTW: I've used rosbag info file.bag to know the topics available in the bag file, and the output is below:

Can you give us some more information so we can help you. The actual rosrun command you're using and the output of rosbag info

Comment by gamesmechanic on 2018-08-26:
Thanks PeteBlackerThe3rd for your reply, I'm using Ubuntu 16 on windows 10, and I've edited the question to include the output of rosbag info.

The pcl_ros bag_to_pcd you're using converts all the points cloud messages in a bad file into pcd files. The problem is the bag file you're using doesn't contain any point cloud messages hence why no pcd files are being created.

The bag file does contain depth images, RBG images and infrared images as well as their associated camera_info messages. This is enough to generate the point cloud messages using the depth_image_proc nodelet though. You'll have to start this nodelet with the right topics setup and then play the bag file to generate the point cloud messages you need.

Hope this helps.
