[ros-users] how to publish JPEG images with compressed_image_transport ?

[Rene Ladan]

Hi,

I'm writing a node to publish images from the Surveyor stereo camera
(see http://www.surveyor.com/stereo/ ).
The camera publishes the images in JPEG format.  The logical thing
would be to somehow feed them to the
compressed_image_format node (after setting up a handmade header?) to
publish them.  Is there any example
code which does this?

Also, if I understand correctly, the subscriber can just subscribe to
the normal image_transport topic, but needs
to have extra code to decompress compressed images before using them?

Thanks,
Rene
