Did you figure out how to fix this issue? I am having the same problem and can't find a solution. Thanks.

is it an rgb image? what does rosrun image_view image_view image:=[your image topic] show?

[notenti]

It's a raw image; the camera is greyscale. If it helps I am using an mv bluefox camera. When I view the image in rviz is comes up perfectly.

Another thought: could it have to do with the TooN library? When I install TooN, libcvd, and gvars, the two latter libraries search for TooN, but can never find it in the system. I have tried setting all the paths manually, but ended up giving up. Could this be it?

this could be the issue, try a clean checkout and compile using our repository.

I did a fresh install of TooN, libcvd, gvars, and PTAM and I'm still getting the double image. Could it have to do with my laptop's gpu?

[stephanweiss]

are you absolutely positive, that it is a b/w camera? Is your camera node converting it to a color image? I am fairly certain that this is a color/bw issue...or in general an issue how your image node is publishing the image and its meta info.

[notenti]

AH! It was.There was an option in the image publishing launch file where I could set whether to use color or not. Even though the camera was never publishing color images PTAM must have been treating it like it was. Thank you!

Great! glad it was not another strange issue :-)
