ROS ppl_detection

ppl_detection is a ROS package for detecting and tracking people based on kinect data. Today i gave it a try and only encountered one problem.
To make it running do the following steps.

Checkout the source code in a directory {make sure this directory is added to the ROS_PATH}

• svn checkout http://astar-ros-pkg.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ppl_detection 

Change the following line in kinect.launch 
<node pkg="rviz" name="rviz" type="rviz" args="--display-config $(find trainer)/kinect_detect.vcg"/>

to

<node pkg="rviz" name="rviz" type="rviz" args="--display-config $(find ppl_detection)/kinect_detect.vcg"/>



Change the folllowing line in kinect_detect.cpp 

"svm_models/" + model_name + ".model"

to

 "./svm_models/" + model_name + ".model"
Build the package

• rosmake ppl_detection
• roslaunch ppl_detection kinect_launch
• rosrun ppl_detection kinect_detect

Hopefully you will see the rgb point cloud in rviz and if a person is in the scene you will see a bounding box with the text 'human'
