The topic list also has changed: %rostopic list -v Published topics: * /rosout [roslib/Log] 2 publishers * /rosout_agg [roslib/Log] 1 publisher * /jpeg/image/compressed [sensor_msgs/CompressedImage] 1 publisher Subscribed topics: * /time [unknown type] 3 subscribers * /jpeg/image/compressed [sensor_msgs/CompressedImage] 1 subscriber * /rosout [roslib/Log] 1 subscriber * /clock [unknown type] 3 subscribers Thanks, Rene 2010/3/26 Rob Wheeler : >> %rosrun image_view image_view image:=/jpeg/image image_transport:=compressed > > image_transport is a parameter on the master, so it should have a > leading underscore (http://www.ros.org/wiki/Remapping%20Arguments) > > Try: > > %rosrun image_view image_view image:=/jpeg/image _image_transport:=compressed > > On Fri, Mar 26, 2010 at 3:35 AM, Rene Ladan wrote: >> Hi, >> >> the attached C++ file publishes a JPEG picture from disk on >> /jpeg/image/compressed >> (verified with rostopic list -v).  However, if I run image_view to >> display the picture, I only get >> a blank window.
