Re: [ros-users] Convert Distance Data to Position

Thanks a lot Radu. Even so, i could not find pr2_tilt_laser_interface package in my local machine even I installed the full version of ROS (PR2 All option from http://www.ros.org/wiki/cturtle/Installation/Ubuntu). I sometimes wonder why i could find some nodes discussed in this mailing list in my local machine. BTW, i've just reinstalled the latest version by last 5 days..

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Shahmi

Shahmi,

Take a look at the pr2_tilt_laser_interface action (LaserScan->PointCloud2) or the older laser_assembler
(LaserScan->PointCloud) for an example.

For visualizations, you can use rviz or pcd_viewer in pcl_visualization (for individual snapshots).

Cheers,
Radu.
