I'm using rosjava to write code, but now when i use pi_face_tracker, i come across problems. The input of the pi_face_tracker should be type image, but what i get form the camera is compressed image. What should i do to solve it? Thank you.

You can use the republish node to convert the transport from compressed to raw. Your call will look something like this:

rosrun image_transport republish compressed in:=(in_base_topic) raw out:=(out_base_topic)

@han: I am not sure if I understand your question. You cannot call this in code from Java. It is a C++ binary. You should run it as a node alongside pi_face_tracker.

How could I include this rosrun inside of a launch file?

I know this is an old question, but if somebody is looking for how to do this in a launch file the answer is here: http://answers.ros.org/question/12216...

the code is:

<node name="republish" type="republish" pkg="image_transport" output="screen" args="compressed in:=/axis_camera raw out:=/axis_camera/image_raw" />
