How to launch compressed image node
Hey, I'm struggling with compressed image transport node on ros kinetic - the problem is that i have to pass image over tcp connection but when I do that without commpression i have quickly filled up my connection.
The idea is to compress image on slave and decompress that on master - image processing node needs decompressed image. I can't read proper launch file which can make it. I cannot find how to launch this compression, I'm looking for something like :
<node pkg="image_transport" type="republish" name="rgb_compress" args="raw in:=/camera/rgb/image_raw compressed out:=/rgb_republish">
Also I don't know which option is better weather compress to png or jpg - connection is pretty fast but board is asus thinker board and I'm limited by it's power
As far as I understood the compressed_image_transport package will automatically publish a cenpressed version if the original image is published via image transport: "The compressed_image_transport package provides plugins for the "compressed" transport, which sends images over the wire in either JPEG- or PNG-compressed form. Notice that compressed_image_transport is not a dependency of your package; image_transport will automatically discover all transport plugins built in your ROS system."
