add depth image to laser scan in a launch file

asked 2013-05-17 09:10:50 -0500

Hi guys,

I'm trying to create my own .launch file but i can't understand how to add the follow rosrun to the file:

rosrun depthimage_to_laserscan depthimage_to_laserscan image:=/camera/depth/image_raw

I know that I can run the node by typing

<node pkg="depthimage_to_laserscan" type="depthimage_to_laserscan" name="depthimage_to_laserscan"/>

but I don't know how to add the "image:=/camera/depth/image_raw" part.

someone can help me?

thanks

@danielq - Can you post the launch file you created? I want to use depthimage_to_laserscan with kinect v2 and want to see how to use the parameters to use libfreenect2 driver with this package.

You're looking for the remap tag.

For the others, the answer is

<node name="depthimage_to_laserscan" pkg="depthimage_to_laserscan" type="depthimage_to_laserscan" > 
  <remap from="image" to="/camera/depth/image_raw"/>
</node>
