Folks,

I am subscribing to a compressed image published (or republished) by image_proc (it takes my rgb_raw, and publishes rectified rgb and mono images, including compressed versions). But when I subscribe to the compressed images (rgb or mono), I get these messages:

[ERROR] [1479358743.735774954]: Tried to advertise a service that is already advertised in this node [/v_control_node/compressed/set_parameters]

This is my subscriber:

camera_track_sub_ = it_.subscribeCamera("/camera/rgb/image_rect", 2,
&MyNodeClass::ImageCb, this,
image_transport::TransportHints("compressed"));
// I assume TransportHints converts "/camera/rgb/image_rect" to "/camera/rgb/image_rect/compressed"

I have ROS indigo, and Ubuntu 14.04.

How do you subscribe?

#include <sensor_msgs compressedimage.h="">
// inside my class
ros::NodeHandle nh_;
image_transport::ImageTransport it_;
image_transport::CameraSubscriber camera_track_sub_; /**< subscriber for the camera info and the image info. */

// Then, on my class as well
public:
MyNodeClass(int32_t id)
: it_(nh_), id_(id)

Please edit your question. And you only show the declaration for the subscriber, but no use of it.

camera_track_sub_ = it_.subscribeCamera("/camera/rgb/image_rect", 2,
&MyNodeClass::ImageCb, this,
image_transport::TransportHints("compressed"));
// I assume TransportHints converts "/camera/rgb/image_rect" to "/camera/rgb/image_rect/compressed"

After the subscriber is enabled, the callback grabs that rectified mono image message, cv_bridge converts it into sensor_msgs::image_encodings::MONO8, then I to my analysis. I don't re-publish the image at all.

Can you please add the code to the question? It's hard to read it in several parts in the comments.

I found the error problem. See answer below. Print Statements helped me see it

The problem is that I shut down my subscriber when I don't need it, and re-subscribe again when I need it. But if the subscriber is already initialized, then I get the error if I call it again. I added a boolean to check if it is already initialized (if you know a image_transport method that checks for this, or how to access the private variable impl_, then let me know):

if (image_analyze == CMDTYPE_START)
{
  /* use boolean to avoid re-initializing subscriber. */
  if (already_started_ == false)
  {
    already_started_ = true;
    camera_track_sub_ = it_.subscribeCamera("/camera/rgb/image_rect", 2,
    &MyNodeClass::ImageCb, this,
    image_transport::TransportHints("compressed"));
  }
}
else if (image_analyze == CMDTYPE_STOP)
{
  already_started_ = false;
  /// shutdown already checks if the subscriber is valid.
  /// so, no need to check if it has already been shutdown
  camera_track_sub_.shutdown();
}

How come this not happened for the non-rgb-compressed topics (such as regular rgb, compressedDepth, and non-image related topics)? I guess they forgot to add code to check rgb compressed subscribers?

Hey,

For those here with the error in manipulator type of setup, it is uncommon, it's due tothe same reason as the above. The launch file is trying to invoke a service that is already present.

[ERROR]: Advertise a service already advertised in this node

For me it was in the URDF where there was a common name in the transmission part. Follow the launched files and look for such name collision.

Regards,
