Picture Node:
Rewrote so this node attempts to open a folder and read the image files in the folder. This node now publishes the images as a ros2 image message called /input_image
Inference Node
Created an inference node that takes in the /input_image topic, and publishes the output image and bounding box of a yolo model. This node calls on a util class to do the preprocessing, inference and post processing.
Util Class
Added a utility class that uses the ultralytics API to do preprocessing, inference and post processing
Other changes
updated README to include topic subscription/publishing behaviour of nodes. Added example arguments for the new nodes
updated gitignore files to include .pt and some other folders
edit setup file to accommodate including the util classes in the ROS2 nodes.
