Proposal

I would like to connect a ZED 2i to a raspberry pi or Jetson Nano (running ROS2 humble and on a mobile manipulator) and then let a server (also running ROS2 humble) on the same network do the heavy lifting with an Nvidia GPU. I saw the gstreaming RTSP but I couldn't find a way to use that in combination with ROS2. Is it possible that this could be implemented into the zed-ros2-wrapper?Raspberry Pi

Hi @stevenPennock this is not possible. The ZED SDK does not accept GStreamer streams as input. The ROS 2 Wrapper only accepts the same camera input modes available with the ZED SDK: Live camera, SVO, and ZED Local Stream (oncoming).
