ROS Melodic & OpenCV - CompressedImage not publishing

edit

I am new to ROS. I am playing with integrating OpenCV and ROS. The code I am using is inspired from the ROS tutorial on converting ROS messages to CV::mat and back.

I am subscribing to the topic /raspicam_node/image/compressed published by the raspicam node. I have no problem getting the topic, converting it to CV:mat, and modifying it with OpenCV. Line 32 opens a window and shows me the modified CV:mat image.

My issue comes at Line 36. I can see the topic using rostopic list but when I echo it nothing comes up. Same if I use rqt_image_view.

Any thoughts on what I am missing? Thank you!
