I want to access images and ultrasound reading from my ardrone parrot. To get readings in synchronized way i tried using message filter with approximate time policy.

image_transport::SubscriberFilter sub(it_,"/out_resize", 110);

message_filters::Subscriber<ardrone_autonomy::navdata_altitude> altitude_sub(nh, "/ardrone/navdata_altitude", 100);

sync_policies::ApproximateTime<sensor_msgs::image,ardrone_autonomy::navdata_altitude> MySyncPolicy;

Synchronizer<mysyncpolicy> sync(MySyncPolicy(200),sub,altitude_sub);

sync.registerCallback(boost::bind(&VideoSource::callback,this, _1, _2));

Callback function

void VideoSource::callback(const sensor_msgs::ImageConstPtr& img_msg,const ardrone_autonomy::navdata_altitude::ConstPtr &msg) {

fprintf(stderr,"inside\n"); alti_raw=*msg; img = *img_msg; is_frame_available = true;

}

This callback is only called once even though I am receiving continuous messages on both the topics. The difference between timestamps is around 100ms.

Can anyone tell me why this callback is getting called only once..

You may close the question so as to remove it from the "Unanswered" list and improve the overall statistics :)

Although you did not paste the complete listing, it seems like the sync object is not a member field of your VideoSource class, but rather a local variable (in constructor I guess). If this is the case then sync is destructed as soon as the constructor is executed, which removes the callback.
