Hi Matt,

You should post this question on answers.ros.org.

RVIZ forces you to give a frame ID to see the image, and this frame ID must ?exist?. \
Often, when you see this error, it?s because you don?t have a TF between your \
reference frame and your camera frame. You can just publish a dummy TF if you don?t \
need anything complex.

To help you debug, you can use image_view like Suat suggested, because this one does \
not require a frame id.

Benoit

  Hi,

  Does anyone have any experience with viewing a image stream from a usb webcam?

  I have the usb_cam node (part of the bosch_drivers package) running, but I can't \
seem to view the video in rviz.  It gives me an error saying 'fixed frame does not \
exist'.  I get the same error when I run the camera using the uvc_camera node as \
well.

  With both nodes, I can see that the camera is turned on (the led next to the lens \
lights up), and I can display the raw image dump i a terminal, but what is the best \
way to actually view the video?

  Thanks.
