[ros-users] problem using TimeSynchronizer with two images

[James Bowman]

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);
}
*
