realsense_samples_ros: Getting head coordinates

[MSimo4]

Hello,

I am a very new user of the Inteal RealSense. I am doing this with a Robotic Development Kit, Ubuntu 16.04 on an UP Board.

My main interest is finding the positions of a couple of people in front of the camera.

I am very new into ROS and the RealSense, but I have managed to track my head with the following examples:

https://github.com/IntelRealSense/realsense_samples_ros/tree/kinetic-devel/realsense_ros_person realsense_samples_ros/realsense_ros_person at kinetic-devel · IntelRealSense/realsense_samples_ros · GitHub

I was wondering if anybody else would have experience on using these packages? I mainly would like to get hold of the x,y,z data and send it via UDP to other application.

Thanks in advance,

Mirrijakys

Hello Mirrijakys,

Thanks for contacting Intel customer support. In the following link you will find the recommended installation procedure to properly install ROS for your Realsense camera. http://wiki.ros.org/realsense_camera# InstallationThe procedure to get the variables out of ROS and into UDP is something that Intel does not handle since ROS is a completely different organization. It would be recommended for you to rise this question to the ROS community and they may be able to assist you with further details on how to do this. Here is the link to the ROS community. http://www.ros.org/Thanks for your understanding. Best Regards, Juan N.
