TimeSynchronizer is doing fine, the problem is caused by CvBridge.

A CvBridge object is designed to handle one image at a time.  So for this case you should create two CvBridge objects, one for left and one for right.

So the code should be:

sensor_msgs::CvBridge bridge[2];

void callback(const ImageConstPtr& left, const ImageConstPtr& right) {
     IplImage* im_left = bridge[0].imgMsgToCv(left, "rgb8");
     IplImage* im_right = bridge[1].imgMsgToCv(right, "rgb8");

     cvShowImage("left", im_left);
     cvShowImage("right", im_right);
}

Hi all -
I'm trying to use TimeSynchronizer to sync up images from two cameras, but I'm having some problems. In the following lines:
   message_filters::Subscriber<Image> left_sub(nh, "stereo/left/image", 1);
   message_filters::Subscriber<Image> right_sub(nh, "stereo/right/image", 1);

   TimeSynchronizer<Image, Image> sync(left_sub, right_sub, 10);
   sync.registerCallback(boost::bind(&callback, _1, _2));
in the callback, both left and right appear to be the same image (they both seem to come from the rightmost subscriber given to sync). I've checked stereo/left/image and stereo/right/image with image_view and they are definitely different. Is there something I'm missing here? Code to reproduce is attached.

On a related note, is there a way to use TimeSynchronizer with image_transport rather than subscribing to the image directly?

Thanks,
-Dan
