Slam_gmapping prob with lidar and image data [closed]

I am trying to integrate Laserscan data and image data converted to Laserscan data into a single map using slam_gmapping. But, when i run the move_base launch file, the map takes only one of the laserscan data inputs( either image data or lidar data... not both!) Can someone help by explaining how to solve the problem? I believe the problem might be in the launch file.

Are both laser scan nodes publishing to the same topic? Also, are they being published as having distinct transforms? For the latter, try using view_frames of the tf package to verify that you see transforms for both laser scan sources to base_link, as described on the gmapping wiki page.

The problem still persists. Both the scans are publishing to the same topic. Can someone suggest how the data can be merged?
