image_view - RethinkRobotics/sdk-docs GitHub Wiki

It is sometimes convenient to view camera images outside of rviz.

1. cd to the ros_ws directory on the development workstation

    $ cd ~/ros_ws
   

2. Initialize your environment

    $ ./baxter.sh
   

For more details see Init your sdk environment

3. Run ros image_view on any available camera or image topic

    $ rosrun image_view image_view image:=/cameras/left_hand_camera/image
   

   The image:=</image/topic/here is remapping the ~image parameter to the desired image topic.

For more information on using image_view, see the ROS wiki page: http://ros.org/wiki/image_view
