Hi,
I am trying to send a IplImage (captured from a firewire cam through OpenCV) to a remote GUI using CORBA. I am completely new to Corba, and I followed the Orocos doc and some topics related to this subject. What I have done is then:
1. Write a IplImage.idl to declare the IplImage type;
2. Generate C++ wrappers using tao_idl ;
3. Write a IplImageTypeInfo and redefining decomposeTypeImpl(const IplImage& in, CORBA::Any& out) and composeTypeImpl(const CORBA::Any& in, IplImage& out) as Sylvain subjected in post [http://www.orocos.org/node/947] ;
4. Create an ImageToolkitPlugin and adding the IplImage type by calling ORO_TOOLKIT_PLUGIN() ;
5. Compile all these stuffs into a dynamic library.
On embedded computer, I call cdeployer-gnulinux with my architecture xml file.
On remote computer, I call deployer-corba-gnulinux with my gui xml file connecting to remote Camera.
The type of Camera.frame is correctly set to IplImage. All other stuffs works correctly. DataPort connection works correctly on the same deployer. But when I ask to connect ports of components Camera (remote access through Corba) and GUI (locally loaded), I have the following errors:
On embedded console:
41.796 ( Info )(ControlTaskProxy) Creating Proxy interface for GUI
41.870 ( ERROR )(CorbaFallBackProtocol) Failing Corba::Any creation of type IplImage.
On GUI console:
25.326 ( Warning)(deployer-corba-gnulinux::main()) Can not create a proxy for data connection.
Segmentation fault
Both Camera and GUI have been declared as Corba servers.
Can anyone explain me the problem and give some issues?
Thanks,
Charles.

Here you got it: the CorbaFallBackProtocol is used, which means your IplImage
CORBA transport is not used at all in the embedded system. Probably, the
'Camera' type got loaded, but not the CORBA transport.
Check your orocos.log file to make sure that the CORBA transport layer reports
that it can transport 'lplimage' objects....

That crash shouldn't be...

Only the Camera needs to be declared as server... but that doesn't cause your
problem.

Effectively, the orocos.log contains:
0.001 [Info] [Logger] Registered new 'CORBA' transport for PropertyBag
and so on for other types, but not fom my own IplImage type.
Further I have my toolkit plugin loaded as well:
0.084 [Info] [Toolkit] Loading Tool MyToolkit.
0.084 [Info] DeploymentComponent::loadLibrary] Loeaded RT Plugin
'MyToolkit'.
How to define a Corba transport over IplImage?
Thanks.
