ROS2 Message filters in a class, initializing message_filters::Subscriber object
I am trying to sync two message streams of 2 image topics. So I am using message filters. I was using a class to do all this, however, the member initialisation doesn't work for me for message_filters::Subscriber. This is my code-
class MultiSubscriber : public rclcpp::Node
{
public:
message_filters::Subscriber<sensor_msgs::msg::Image> image_sub_;
message_filters::Subscriber<sensor_msgs::msg::Image> disparity_sub_;
MultiSubscriber(const std::string& name)
: Node(name),
image_sub_(message_filters::Subscriber<sensor_msgs::msg::Image>(this, "image_color_topic")),
disparity_sub_(message_filters::Subscriber<sensor_msgs::msg::Image>(this, "image_disparity_topic"))
{
typedef message_filters::sync_policies::ApproximateTime<sensor_msgs::msg::Image, sensor_msgs::msg::Image> approximate_policy;
message_filters::Synchronizer<approximate_policy>syncApproximate(approximate_policy(10), image_sub_, disparity_sub_);
syncApproximate.registerCallback(&MultSubscriber::disparityCb,this);
}
private:
void disparityCb(const sensor_msgs::msg::Image::SharedPtr disparity_msg, const sensor_msgs::msg::Image::SharedPtr color_msg){
//dosomething
}
};
Because of these 2 lines-
image_sub_(message_filters::Subscriber<sensor_msgs::msg::Image>(this, "image_color_topic")),
disparity_sub_(message_filters::Subscriber<sensor_msgs::msg::Image>(this, "image_disparity_topic"))
I get this error-
/home/hsharma/Documents/internship/ws/ros2_ws/src/stereo_ground_surface/obstacle_detection/src/multisense_subscriber.cpp: In constructor ‘MultiSenseSubscriber::MultiSenseSubscriber(const string&)’:

Do you need to use the initializer list for construction? Can you try to initialize through the constructor as below?
Note the default Quality of Service profile would be used in the example below.
Thanks your method works. Would be good if I can pass qos variable too. Side note, It doesn't work with this too, I get the same error-
Probably the question could be interpreted as how do I assign the subscription topic and qos to the
message_filters::subscriberobject ?My guess is copying a
message_filters::Subscriberis not allowed and what I am doing above is copying a newly createdmessage_filters::Subscriberobject's values to another object I previously created.
