[camera_nodelet_manager-1] process has died error with kinect

edit

Looking at the error, the problem seems to be with memory allocation, you are accessing an unallocated memory which is causing code to crash. Are using kinect.launch file???Try using openni.launch file that comes with openni_launch package.

One ROS runtime work around (at least it works in Openni2) is this in the next order (ideally in your Class destructor, or at the end of your main function before the program ends) :

void StreamingClass::~StreamingClass()
{
    ros::spinOnce();
    /// close streaming
    if (color_video_stream_.isValid() == true)
      color_video_stream_.stop();
    if (depth_video_stream_.isValid() == true)
       depth_video_stream_.stop();

     /// detroy video streaming objects as good practice,
     if (color_video_stream_.isValid() == true)
        color_video_stream_.destroy();
     if (depth_video_stream_.isValid() == true)
        depth_video_stream_.destroy();

     if (camera_device_.isValid() == true)
       camera_device_.close();
     nite::NiTE::shutdown();
     openni::OpenNI::shutdown();
}

Do it in that order, and that should take care of the problem, and will always shutdown the camera software. One thing though, if your camera nodelet had crashed right before trying this code, then unplug and plug the camera back in. Or better yet, restart your computer!!!!
