Dear All,

I need to detect objects (1-3) using Kinect at the same time. I did some research but I could not find any package for objects detection in ROS. I want to use depth information as input data and finally calculate distance of objects to camera. For objects detection, do I employ clustering methods? for example, Euclidean Cluster Extraction is provided by PCL so could I use these codes in a ROS node?

Afaik there is a opencv module in ROS wrapping all opencv 2.4 modules and thus also the objectdetection framework based on cascade classifiers. You could try building a model based on that if you could somehow convert the depth map of the surroundings to a relative object map.

@StevenPuttemans. Thanks. Would you please specify the link or the name of that module in ROS for opencv? I confused with the name of packages in this purpose.

You should ask that on the ROS forum, not here ...

I have already asked there but they said I should asked here.
