hi guys ,I am trying to interface ROS(diamondback) and opencv. I am working on ubuntu 10.04 . I followed the tutorial in the following link

http://www.ros.org/wiki/cv_bridge/Tutorials/UsingCvBridgeToConvertBetweenROSImagesAndOpenCVImages

I created a package with the following dependencies sensor_msgs,image_transport,opencv2,cv_bridge,roscpp,std_msgs.

I used the same program in the link above and copied it to the "src" folder as a CPP file. I compiled it using rosmake (after being done with cmake). This was my output:

[ rosmake ] No package specified. Building ['ardrone_kar']
[ rosmake ] Packages requested are: ['ardrone_kar']

As @Patrick Mihelich said, please don't shout. There are many people reading this forum and keeping it nice to read it important. I have removed the shouting for you this time.

Please don't shout.

The problem is you're compiling the trunk (or perhaps Electric) version of cv_bridge against your Diamondback install of sensor_msgs. Mixing packages from different ROS distros will almost always get you into trouble. In this case, in Electric we added support for some 16-bit encodings (BGR16, RGB16, etc.). So the Electric cv_bridge references those, but they aren't defined in the Diamondback sensor_msgs.

You're on Ubuntu, so you shouldn't need to compile cv_bridge at all. Just use the prebuilt debian package:

sudo apt-get install ros-diamondback-vision-opencv

If there's some ROS stack that you need to modify (and therefore install from source), make sure to check out the maintenance branch for whatever distro you're using. In this case that would be:

https://code.ros.org/svn/ros-pkg/stacks/vision_opencv/branches/vision_opencv-1.4

1.4 = Diamondback, 1.6 = Electric, and trunk is for active development (currently leading to Fuerte).

Patrick thanks for your response.I downloaded the vision_opencv-1.4

Patrick ,I installed ros electric in the same machine where diamondback was.The file I had problem with is able to build clearly now.But I cant create the driver file.I got the dependencies and also made proper changes in the cmake.txt. But the driver file is not getting created at all...
