Spaceport Publisher

In this part, we are going to use Spaceport publisher nodes prepared for ROS using the Azure SDK.

Step 1: Get and then extract the Spaceport

wget https://sourceforge.net/projects/spaceportvolumetric/files/VolumetricVideoRegistration.tar.xz tar -xvf VolumetricVideoRegistration.tar.xz

Step 2: Plug your sensors into the machines. You can connect a maximum of 2 devices to each machine. Then, test the installation by running the Spaceport Publisher

cd VolumetricVideoRegistration/binaries/spaceport-ros/bin/ bash launch.sh

Note: We use --postime to launch all cameras synchronously. That's why the entered parameter is important. You can use any number to test the publishers but to be able to capture correctly you have to use the following command --postime $(($(date +%s%N)/1000000))

If all went well you will be able to open your device and see all connected Azure Kinects as above.
