Astra Pro RGB stream using openni

Technical Support & Q&A
1

I’m currently working on an Astra Pro, and have some problems getting the RGB stream to work using openni2. I can get color images using opencv videocapture, so the camera works, nd I can get the depth stream fine using openni. So the camera should be working.
I have both these things running in both windows and linux.

Are there any known problems with openni and the Astra Pro? Or does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can try?

You cannot access the RGB stream of the Astra Pro via openni2. Unlike the regular Astra, the Astra Pro basically has two devices: One openni2 device that only has a depth stream, and one regular RGB webcam.

I see. Thank you. :slight_smile:

This problem can be solved using Astra SDK, the newer version.
http://dl.orbbec3d.com/dist/astra/v2.0.9-beta3/AstraSDK-v2.0.9-beta3-427db81acc-20180402T220618Z-Ubuntu1604.tar.gz

This issue can be of some help.
