depthimage_to_laserscan outputs laserscan upside down

Hi everyone, Im having trouble with depthimagetolaserscan, its essentially upside down, if i try rotate the TF by 180 degrees the map is offset from the laserscan? is there anyway to flip the depthimagetolaserscan?

Did you try to flip your depth image?

How is that done?

I know there is a way with OpenCV but this would consume much more processing power flipping each depth image?

This will not affect performance at all if you are working on a desktop or on a laptop.

The other way to do image processing is by means of image_transport but I did not find a method for image flipping. Or you can try image_rotate package http://wiki.ros.org/image_rotate but it does the same opencv operations.

The depth camera is on a Raspberry Pi.I will try that, thanks for the help.
