Hi, I'm trying to use face detector on care-o-bot3, for this I activate ROS (DB) using roscore, bring up the robot including a pair of prosilica camera (stereo) and then run face detector. It's supposed we see a window, in which detected faces are marked in it, but nothing happens, just below is the messages come in face_detector terminal

PARAMETERS
 * /rosdistro
 * /face_detector/classifier_filename
 * /face_detector/do_publish_faces_of_unknown_size
 * /face_detector/do_continuous
 * /rosversion
 * /face_detector/classifier_reliability
 * /face_detector/do_display
 * /face_detector/classifier_name

NODES
  /stereo/
    stereo_image_proc (stereo_image_proc/stereo_image_proc)
  /
    face_detector (face_detector/face_detector)

ROS_MASTER_URI=http://192.168.0.101:11311

In order to check the setting, I apply the face detector into a recorded rosbag file (video demo for PR2, downloaded from ROS) and it works, this means we see a window with marked faces in it.

here are the launch files that I use to activate cameras, face detector and bag file player:

camera:

<!-- The camera node -->
<node ns="stereo/left" name="color_camera" pkg="prosilica_camera" type="prosilica_node" output="screen">

</node>

</node>

face detector:

<param name="do_publish_faces_of_unknown_size" type="bool" value="true" />  
<param name="do_display" type="string" value="local" />
</node>

rosbag player:

<node pkg="rosbag" type="play" name="rosplay" args="-r 0.1 -l /home/reza/bag_files/face_detector_withface_test_diamondback.bag">
<remap from="wide_stereo/left/image_raw" to="stereo/left/image_raw"/>

<remap from="wide_stereo/right/camera_info" to="stereo/right/camera_info"/>
</node>

Do you know what can cause this problem, please?

I tried the setup with a pair of usb webcam (uvc_camera), face detector works properly, then it seems the problem is with prosilica and frame rate. I can't get the required fps (about 15fps) from the prosilica cameras, and this is likely to be either camera config or care-o-bot network problem.

Which prosilica are you using with which configuration options?
