libgazebo_ros_camera

[Beahan, Jake]

I would like to simulate the kinect sensor in Gazebo. Using the code from
the turtlebot simulation as an example I have a urdf file which uses the
libgazebo_ros_camera plugin. However the code in Diamondback does not have
a point cloud topic. I have tried using the latest code by manually
downloading and compiling the entire simulator_gazebo stack from svn but
when I try to run it Gazebo crashes. Has anyone experienced similar
problems? What is the recommend path forward?

Thanks,
Jake

The test code should be in unstable. Please try

sudo apt-get install ros-unstable-pr2-simulator

Try using the stereo_image_proc. It takes the output of your canera and converts it into multiple formats including pointcloud and pointcloud2
