[ros-users] stereo image sync

[Blaise Gassend]

What do you mean that you get one message out of 5? Do you mean that
you see messages on the image_raw topic but not on the output of
stereo_image_proc, or does it mean that the images aren't even
arriving on the image_raw topic?

In any case, resource limitations of various types can cause a lower
than expected frame rate:
- CPU overload can cause frames to be dropped.
- Insufficient lighting can cause the exposure time to be long, and
the frame rate to be lower than requested.
- Insufficient network bandwidth can limit how many frames get over
the network (seems unlikely in your case).

Hard to say more without knowing more about your system.
