proportional-to-distance mean error of depth measurements about realsense-ros HOT 3 CLOSED

What ROS package were you using to generate the map data, and is this issue reproducible outside of ROS? It's difficult to tell if this is a ROS issue, or a librealsense issue with the data provided.

from realsense-ros.

What would be the simplest way to do this outside of ROS on Ubuntu? Is there an example program or something like that that outputs the depth in meters?

I hand the pointclouds from the realsense package over to the octomap package. The octomap cointains a modified stereo camera inverse sensor model to account for the measurement error distribution.
The error however was not only detected when using octomap. It's already present in the pointcloud generated by the realsense package.

@imbachb can you ask this question to upstream librealsense? I believe we are just forwarding the mean error data from librealsense. They could probably give you better feedback on whether or not what you are seeing is expected behavior or not.
