Can I have a sensor_msgs::Image::ConstPtr as data member?

I have a class that gets an sensor_msgs::Image::ConstPtr and there are a lot of member functions acting to this same image. void extractData(const sensor_msgs::Image::ConstPtr &image)

I was wondering if it is possible to have a data member instead of sending the pointer from one function to the other.

I've tried adding: sensor_msgs::Image::ConstPtr ℑ

But it says uninitialized reference member. Tried also removing Const or Ptr in declaration with no success. Any ideas?

FYI: For some reason the text appears to me as "sensor_msgs::Image::ConstPtr ℑ", when the OP actually entered "sensor_msgs::Image::ConstPtr &image"

Yes, you can.

However, you cannot have it as a reference, i.e. remove the & in the declaration.

I don't want new objects. I want a reference or else it doesn't worth the loss in speed. I will go with passing around the smart pointer. Thanks anyway.

That's exactly what the smart pointer is intended for.
