RTABMAP not detecting Kinect

[multinet]

Hello,

I am having a problem connecting my kinect with rtabmap. I am getting the following errors and cannot find my device in the detection menu of the rtabmap window.


Kindly help me with this problem

The kinect seems detected, but rgbd_odometry crashes. Just tried on indigo latest code from source and it should work. What are the dependencies? Can you show output of cmake for rtabmap build?

$ cd rtabmap/build
$ cmake ..

You may try to start rtabmap with gdb:

$ roslaunch rtabmap_ros rgbd_mapping.launch launch_prefix:="xterm -e gdb --args" ...

Then do "bt" (bascktrace) on rgbd_odometry terminal after it crashes to see more info.

Hello,
Thank you for replying. Here is the output of cmake.

Hello,
After a bit of searching i found a link which I think is also answered by you. I tried running the command but it gave the following error.



This error is what I got before as well right before the rgbd_odometry crash statement. When I change the frame_id form camera_link to base_link it doesn't give the error but continuously spits out warnings.

[ WARN] [1534153055.001212118]: odometry: Could not get transform from base_link to camera_rgb_optical_frame (stamp=1534153054.866910) after 0.100000 seconds ("wait_for_transform_duration"=0.100000)! Error="canTransform: target_frame base_link does not exist.. canTransform returned after 0.100552 timeout was 0.1."

I was trying to run the kinect with visual_odometry as shown in section 2.5 of Setup On Your Robot

Hi,

It seems you have installed OpenCV3 on a computer with ROS Indigo:

--   With OpenCV 3 xfeatures2d module (SIFT/SURF/BRIEF/FREAK) = YES (License: Non commercial)

rtabmap_ros is linked on cv_bridge, which is built against OpenCV2. While being also linked to rtabmap which is built against OpenCV3, there are two opencv versions loaded at the same time when launching rtabmap_ros nodes. This is likely causing crashes when opencv functions are used. If you want to use OpenCV3, you should remove ros-indigo-cv-bridge and build cv_bridge from source. This will uninstall many depending packages, so you should rebuild them all from source (so they link on cv_bridge version built with OpenCV3).

Well, if you want to use OpenCV3, I recommend upgrading to ROS Kinetic on ubuntu 16.04, for which cv_bridge is built with OpenCV3 by default. Otherwise, it may be just easier to use only OpenCV2 on Indigo so you don't have to rebuild everything.

cheers,
Mathieu

Hi, I installed opencv 2.4.13 and tried building it again but it gave an error during catkin_make -j1

Invoking "make -j1" failed

tried it with -j4 and then with just catkin_make but the error still remains.
