- Compiler: gcc5.4.0
- PCL Version:1.9.1
Context
Hi,
I want to get partial snapshots of an object(banana) according to the tutorial.
But the first snapshots and only the first snapshots may become strange as the image below show:

As you can see, the point cloud is not in the proper place.
What's more, the normal estimation seems can't be applied in the pcd output from the pcl_virtual_scanner, there is no output from normal estimation.
If it's my fault, please let me know. Thanks a lot!

Research direction
Start by reproducing the pcl_virtual_scanner behavior using the linked objectPoseEstimation source, the OpenNI object-recognition tutorial, and the reported Ubuntu 16.04, GCC 5.4.0, and PCL 1.9.1 environment. Compare the first partial snapshots with later output and check the reported normal-estimation result. Done means the failure is reproduced and the affected component, expected behavior, and a concrete correction are documented.
