tf2_py should implement a converter to numpy types #427

Open nalt opened 4 years ago

nalt commented 4 years ago

There are various tf2 packages with converters to standard messages and common C++ classes.

For the Python side it is not fully clear from the docs which converters are actually implemented. It would be helpful to have a table with possible conversions.

A converter to/from a numpy 4x4 matrix, as a standard type, could be implemented in tf2_py.

Adding more conversions would be great. However if it would need numpy as a dependency it might be worth putting it into a separate package.
