Images from Kinect upside-down?

[clebos]

Hi,

I've been following the tutorial shown here: http://robotica.unileon.es/mediawiki/index.php/PCL/OpenNI_tutorial_1:_Installing_and_testing#Precompiled_PCL_for_Ubuntu

I've installed the correct version of OpenNI (1.5.4, I believe), and I can get an image from my Kinect camera. However, this image appears upside down, and I must rotate it about the x axis in order to get it to face the right way (ie. the Z axis is projecting in the wrong direction).

I've been following another thread here: #116, but a fix was unclear...

Fixes from this thread: http://www.pcl-users.org/align-point-cloud-to-a-plane-td3524146.html#a3524207 suggest that I use
viewer->resetCameraViewpoint("sample cloud");
but this only works with PCL visualizer and not with CloudViewer, which the tutorial is using.

If someone could please help me figure out how to get the image the correct way up, that would be wonderful, as I'm quite new to PCL.

Thank you so much!

You could apply a transformation to the point cloud before showing, or have a look at the viewer API. Anyway, this is a bug tracker, please ask questions on the mailing list.
