Re: [ros-users] transformPointCloud

Tully,

Thanks for the reply. Transforming individual points was way too slow. I rewrote the node in C++ and it works.

Sanja,
    The python implementation does not have that method defined.  You can do this in approximately one one in python.

Note: This is pseudo code but you should get the gist.
points_out = [ listener.transformPoint("target_frame", PointStamped(point_cloud.header, p).point for p in point_cloud.points]

If you're worried about efficiency you can also use lookupTransform and multiply the matrix.

Dear ROS users,

I am trying to use tf with the PointCloud data I have but I keep getting a message that TransformListener has no object attribute transformPointCloud. Is tf for Python just lacking this function or do I need to do more than just importing tf? The same code works for transforming individual points, but PointClouds are the source of trouble.

Thanks,
Sanja
