DRCSim and TF : please tell me what I'm missing

Hello All,

DRCSim-2.2, Ubuntu 12.04.2LTS

I am trying to convert LaserScan images to Point Clouds with modified version of code here...
[http://answers.ros.org/question/11232/how-to-turn-laser-scan-to-point-cloud-map/]

I get the following error...

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'tf::LookupException'
what(): Frame id /head_hokuyo_frame does not exist! Frames (31): Frame /hokuyo_link exists with parent /head.
Frame /head exists with parent /utorso.
Frame /ltorso exists with parent /pelvis.

I shortened this, but /head_hokoyu_frame is not in the list.



rosrun tf tf_echo /head_hokoyu_frame /pelvis

Failure at 615.773000000
Exception thrown:Frame id /head_hokoyu_frame does not exist! Frames (92): Frame /center_bottom_led_frame exists with parent /head.
Frame /head exists with parent /utorso.
Frame /center_top_led_frame exists with parent /head.
Frame /head_hokuyo_frame exists with parent /hokuyo_link.
Frame /hokuyo_link exists with parent /head.
...

Ok, the frame doesn't exist, then why is it in my list?



"view_frames" shows connection between /pelvis and /head_hokoyu_frame


If I try a shorter path with tf_monitor it looks like the tf is getting lost even though the two links are directly connected... why would two adjacent nodes traverse through so many frames?

rosrun tf tf_monitor /pelvis /ltorso

DRCSim and TF : please tell me what I'm missing

Hello All,

DRCSim-2.2, Ubuntu 12.04.2LTS

I am trying to convert LaserScan images to Point Clouds with modified version of code here...
[http://answers.ros.org/question/11232/how-to-turn-laser-scan-to-point-cloud-map/]

Modifications are only changing link/topic names, and changing setExtrapolationLimit to 3.0.

I get the following error...

what(): Frame id /head_hokuyo_frame does not exist! Frames (31): Frame /hokuyo_link exists with parent /head.
Frame /head exists with parent /utorso.

Update : I have been trying the TF tutorials for inspiration. The view_frames output says the transform from /pelvis to /ltorso is 1363397010.463 sec old ?? Also, tf_monitor it looks like the tf is getting lost even though the two links are directly connected... why would two adjacent nodes traverse through so many frames?
