I'm using gscam to stream the view from a USB camera. However, when viewing it in an rviz camera display only a cropped view is shown. It seems like the view is displaced by half the view size to the right and down, so only a quarter of the view is shown. When using image_view everything looks fine. Does anyone know what is causing this problem?

According to mplayer the camera image's resolution is 640x480.

I'm using the default camera_parameters.txt:

# Camera intrinsics

[image]

width
640

height
480

[default]

camera matrix
1.00000 0.00000 1.00000 
0.00000 1.00000 1.00000
0.00000 0.00000 1.00000

0.00000 1.00000 0.00000 
0.00000 0.00000 1.00000

1.00000 0.00000 1.00000 0.00000

0.00000 0.00000 1.00000 0.00000 

and this is my GSCAM_CONFIG:

v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! video/x-raw-rgb, width=640, height=480, framerate=30/1 ! ffmpegcolorspace ! identity name=ros ! fakesink"

The available version of gscam doesn't properly publish TF frame information, and so it won't work with an rviz camera display. See this branch for this functionality.
