Hello,

I have troubles to publish images via image_transport.

This is what I want to do:

    right_image_.header.frame_id = left_image_.header.frame_id = config_.frame_id;
    left_image_.header.stamp = right_image_.header.stamp=image->header.stamp;
    left_image_.height = right_image_.height=image->height;
    left_image_.width = right_image_.width=image->width;
    left_image_.encoding = right_image_.encoding = image->encoding;
    //Split image into left image and right image
    left_image_.step = right_image_.step = image->step;
    int image_size = image->height*image->step;
    left_image_.data.resize(image_size);
    right_image_.data.resize(image_size);
    memcpy(&right_image_.data[0], &image->data[0], image_size);     
    // the image of right camera is the first half of the deinterlaced image.
    memcpy(&left_image_.data[0], &image->data[image_size], image_size);     
    // the image of left camera is the second half of the de interlaced image.

    // Publish via image_transport
left_image_pub_.publish(left_image_, ci);
right_image_pub_.publish(right_image_, ci);

But publish method only admit

void publish(const sensor_msgs::ImageConstPtr& image, const sensor_msgs::CameraInfoConstPtr& info) const;

And I have only sensor_msgs::Image.

How can I convert from sensor_msgs::Image to sensor_msgs::ImageConstPtr ??

Thanks a lot.

Best regards

To publish an image, please allocate the shared pointer yourself. I.e.

#include <boost/make_shared.hpp>

sensor_msgs::ImagePtr image = boost::make_shared<sensor_msgs::Image> ();
image->field = something; // fill your fields.
pub.publish (image);

Please prefer std::copy over memcpy. It has as efficient and behave properly on all C++ types unlike memcpy.

enter code here`pmarinplaza,

if your sensor_msgs::image has been properly built, then sensor_msgs::imageConstPtr& will be automatically generated. Have a look in your sensor_msgs/image.h, ConstPtr should be there as an element in the Image_ structure. So there should be no conversion (by you) required.

It should be a matter of simply

left_image_pub_.publish(left_image_.ConstPtr, ci);

Thanks but even with that The code hates me. I will update my question with the result.
