This repository holds code of a ROS package for data acquisition(color image, depth map and point cloud) with [Kinect 4 Azure(https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/kinect-dk/). It is basically a ROS wrapper of the low-level API provided by Microsoft/Azure-Kinect-Sensor-SDK, the manufacturer of the camera.
The package has been tested with the following dependencies:
- Ubuntu 18.04
- CMake version 3.10.2
- gcc version 7.4.0
- ROS Melodic
- Point Cloud Library v1.8 (shipped with ROS Melodic)
- Azure-Kinect-Sensor-SDK(https://github.com/Microsoft/Azure-Kinect-Sensor-SDK)
$ git clone https://github.com/ZiqiChai/k4a-ros
$ catkin_make
- Plug your camera correctly, in terms of power and signal
- Call the launch file.
$ roslaunch k4a-ros k4a_ros_node.launch
- Or just run the ros node without rviz
$ rosrun k4a-ros k4a_ros_node
