Hi,

I am trying to print out the individual elements of a stereo_msgs DisparityImage message for some debugging. I am not sure how the data is stored in the main array? And regardless of how they are stored, is the data the disparity value for each pixel (in pixel coordinates)?

I don't want to have to convert to cv Mat to do simple debugging tasks. But when I did in any case by using cv_bridge, the elements show some values up to the power of 12 which is not reasonable. My focal length is in the order of 100s of pixels (again I am not sure what focal length in pixels is). The baseline in the same message seem to be correct. Moreover, the data is visualized reasonably, if I divide each value by the max. disparity and then scale it to 0-255. So what are the values of the individual elements?

Thank you.
