isaac_ros_visual_slam_zed.launch.py If an error occurs when running

**Hello, I am trying to do vslam using ZED2i.

I've done all the environment settings, but I'm getting this error. Does anyone have a similar experience?**

Looks like you are missing ImageFormatConverterNode. It is part of isaac_ros_image_proc package. Make sure you are building the package correctly. Could you share how you built the package?

Hi there! I encountered a similar issue while working with the documentation for Isaac ROS VSLAM. The documentation suggests installing the package using sudo apt-get install -y ros-humble-isaac-ros-stereo-image-proc. Despite following this instruction, I faced the same problem.

In an attempt to resolve it, I moved the package located in /opt/ros/humble/share to the src directory. However, upon compilation, I encountered an error indicating the absence of a .txt file. Consequently, I decided to clone the package from this repository and compiled it successfully.

After compilation, I verified its presence using the command ros2 pkg list, only to find that the output remained unchanged, unfortunately.

I recently encountered this issue, which stemmed from a problem with policy in the subscribers. To address it, I took the following steps: First, I commented out the zed node in ros2 launch isaac_ros_visual_slam isaac_ros_visual_slam_zed.launch.py. Next, I ran ros2 launch zed_wrapper zed_camera.launch.py camera_model:=zed2i.
