By default, ar_pose package looks for Image data published by usb_cam, but I would like it to look for Image data published by a different node (ar_drone). Is there a way to change the topic source without hacking the source code for ar_pose?

I notice that ar_kinect must do something similar.

You are looking for remapping of topic names. See this question: http://answers.ros.org/question/817/what-is-the-convention-for-topic-name for details.

Hi, this is my launch file (working). Remember to calibrate the drone's camera:

I am new at ROS and I am trying to do the same thing, getting ar_pose to work with the video input from ar_drone. When I am trying to remap while launching ardrone_driver like this:

rosrun ardrone_brown ardrone_driver /ardrone/image_raw:=/usb_cam/image_raw

It does not remap. Please help.
