Hi, I want to publish 10 images from my pictures folder..so that I added the link for that..code runs correctly but image is not displaying..

pub.cpp:

#include <ros/ros.h>
#include <opencv2/imgproc/imgproc.hpp>
#include <opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp>
#include <cv_bridge/cv_bridge.h>
#include <image_transport/image_transport.h>
#include <sensor_msgs/image_encodings.h>

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
  ros::init(argc, argv, "image_publisher");
  ros::NodeHandle nh;

    cv_bridge::CvImage cv_image;
    cv_image.image = cv::imread("/home/abi/Pictures/attachments/",CV_LOAD_IMAGE_COLOR);
    cv_image.encoding = "bgr8";
    sensor_msgs::Image ros_image;
    cv_image.toImageMsg(ros_image);
 image_transport::ImageTransport it(nh);
  image_transport::Publisher pub = it.advertise("/static_image/compressed", 3);
  ros::Rate loop_rate(5);

  while (nh.ok()) 
  {
    pub.publish(ros_image);
    loop_rate.sleep();
  }
}

sub.cpp:

#include <ros/ros.h>
#include <image_transport/image_transport.h>
#include <opencv/cv.h>
#include <opencv/highgui.h>
#include <cv_bridge/cv_bridge.h>

void imageCallback(const sensor_msgs::ImageConstPtr& msg)
  {
    cv_bridge::CvImagePtr cv_ptr;
    try
      {
    cv_ptr = cv_bridge::toCvCopy(msg, "bgr8");
         //ROS_INFO("Hi");
        cv::imshow("view", cv_ptr->image);
        cvNamedWindow("view",CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE);
      }
    catch (cv_bridge::Exception& e)
      {
    ROS_ERROR("cv_bridge exception: %s", e.what());
    return;
      }
}

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
  ros::init(argc, argv, "image_listener");
  ros::NodeHandle nh;
  cvNamedWindow("view",CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE);
    image_transport::ImageTransport it(nh);
  image_transport::Subscriber sub = it.subscribe("/static_image/", 1,imageCallback);
  ros::spin();
  cvDestroyWindow("view");
}

You forgot to tell ros to "spin" in pub.cpp:

while (nh.ok()) 
 {
   pub.publish(ros_image);
   ros::spinOnce(); //Here is where the magic happens
   loop_rate.sleep();
 }

And I am not all that sure about your call to imread

cv::imread("/home/abi/Pictures/attachments/",CV_LOAD_IMAGE_COLOR);

You are passing a folder name instead of a path to an image. Should be something like

cv::imread("/home/abi/Pictures/attachments/someimage.jpg",CV_LOAD_IMAGE_COLOR);

[UPDATE]

Also, you are publishing the topic /static_image/compressed but subscribing on the topic /static_image/. Make sure that you are publishing what you think you are publishing. You can run the publisher node and then check the published topics with: rostopic list

will this has something to do with the compression. i use this image viewer to load and display image in windows and on web. but i have never display static image before. so maybe it won't work

Hi, lilylily. How about building a web-based image viewer to help display images? Using code is too complicated for me. I prefer to ask some 3rd party Imaging SDKs for help. It will be better if the imaging SDK is totally manual and can be customized by users according to our own favors. Any other suggestion?
