Does this frequently crash for anyone else?<br><br>Good job by the way. I was playing with the libfreenect last week and sat down to write a ros node this weekend and you guys already have it done!<br><br>I hope that someone will soon figure out how to get all the other stuff working, like the 3 axis accelerometers, microphones and the motorized tilt mechanism.<br>

Dear ROS community,<br>
<br>
We have developed a driver for the Kinect RGB-D sensor for ROS. The<br>
driver uses Hector Martin&#39;s libfreenect [1] library, and currently<br>
outputs a PointCloud, an Image, and a CalibrationInfo topic. The<br>
relationship between depth readings and actual distance is determined<br>
through experimental calibration. The release incorporates<br>
contributions from Stéphane Magnenat&#39;s work on a Kinect driver.<br>
<br>
The documentation for the driver, calibration results, and example<br>
video are available at the wiki page:<br>
