The axis_camera node in the texas_drivers stack does exactly this.
https://code.ros.org/trac/wg-ros-pkg/browser/stacks/texas_drivers/trunk/axis_camera/axis.py
The relevant snippets (python code, but C++ would be almost identical):
Create the appropriate publishers ("compressed" and "camera_info"
self.pub = rospy.Publisher("axis_camera/compressed", CompressedImage, self)
self.caminfo_pub = rospy.Publisher("axis_camera/camera_info",
CameraInfo, self)
Populate the appropriate messages and publish:
img = fp.read(content_length)
msg = CompressedImage()
msg.header.stamp = rospy.Time.now()
msg.format = "jpeg"
msg.data = img
self.axis.pub.publish(msg)
cimsg = CameraInfo()
cimsg.header.stamp = msg.header.stamp
cimsg.width = self.width
cimsg.height = self.height
self.axis.caminfo_pub.publish(cimsg)
