Commonly used messages in ROS. Includes messages for actions (actionlib_msgs), diagnostics (diagnostic_msgs), geometric primitives (geometry_msgs), robot navigation (nav_msgs), and common sensors (sensor_msgs), such as laser range finders, cameras, point clouds.
Some applications, such as industrial manipulation, do not require image/point_cloud streaming. Instead, they need image/point_cloud as a service, upon a request of some other client node, thus networking load is reduced, allowing other hardware to work better (specially that involving controllers).
This Pull Request defines image and point cloud snapshots as services. Examples of packages using these services can be found at:
The Pull Request is against jade-devel branch because it is the latest one available, but the services have been tested on kinetic. However, it seems that they could work on jade and indigo.
