Hi Matt, You should post this question on answers.ros.org. RVIZ forces you to give a frame ID to see the image, and this frame ID must “exist”. Often, when you see this error, it’s because you don’t have a TF between your reference frame and your camera frame. You can just publish a dummy TF if you don’t need anything complex. To help you debug, you can use image_view like Suat suggested, because this one does not require a frame id.

I have the usb_cam node (part of the bosch_drivers package) running, but I can't seem to view the video in rviz. It gives me an error saying 'fixed frame does not exist'. I get the same error when I run the camera using the uvc_camera node as well. With both nodes, I can see that the camera is turned on (the led next to the lens lights up), and I can display the raw image dump i a terminal, but what is the best way to actually view the video? Thanks. _______________________________________________ ros-users mailing list ros-users@code.ros.org https://code.ros.org/mailman/listinfo/ros-users -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ ros-users mailing list ros-users@code.ros.org https://code.ros.org/mailman/listinfo/ros-users
