Hi, I recently installed ROS Electric, and now I'm trying to use OpenCV with it, I followed certain tutorials as this one Working with ROS and OpenCV (no sure if anyone else tried this too) ... Thing is, my built-in camera worked fine when i launch this .launch program:

<launch> <node name="uvc_cam_node" pkg="uvc_cam" type="uvc_cam_node" output="screen"> </node> </launch> (Refer to the part Test the launch script in the link above)

It does turn on, and writing this in terminal $ rosrun image_view image_view image:=/camera/image_raw I can see the image, but when I write my .cpp program for using OpenCV and I run it (refer to the part Write the code for image processing), my camera doesn't turn on, it doesnt show an error or anything it just stays there ... I have tried w another webcams and same thing happened. Does anyone have a clue why isn't running

Thanks

You still have to run uvc_cam node.

The code you are talking about uses image transport in another node to grab the images from the ucv_cam node and process them. These are two different nodes working together ... one to grab images from your camera and one to process them.

Thank you! It worked, in the morning when i was checking the code i was actually wondering when it grabs the image from the camera, cause i havent seen that in the code, and this answered that question and solved my problem. (:
