I made a node retrieving an image with openCV explained on this ROS tutorial. The image is ten converted into a format suitable for ROS, using CV_bridge functions.

Problem is, there is no image that are published at all on the \camera topic. I tried visualizing it using

rosrun image_view image_view

But the only thing that appear is a black image. I also tried using rviz camera, but nothing appears; rviz indicate that no image is received:

Here is the code of the publisher:

And here is the CMakeLists.txt file:

I made a standalone version of the code for openCV, and it display image correctly using imshow. I do believe that the problems lies in the conversion of the openCV image to the format required by the ROS nodes, but I do not know where to look to solve such problem.

The source code takes a sample image as argv[1]. I. e. in a folder where a image file like my_photo.jpg is located you have to run it like

rosrun image_transport_tutorial my_publisher my_photo.jpg

in order for telling it what to publish; otherwise it will just publish an empty image header...
