[ros-users] New driver for DepthSense DS325 3D Camera

[Walter "Myzhar" Lucetti]

Hi Gijs,

you just wrote about the fact that it does not use PCL, neither OpenCV. So
you can choose to use your own algorithm without being obliged to install
3rd parties libraries.

Secondary, I searched a lot for a driver for ROS and I have not found the
one you cited, so I started writing my own.

Last of all, I'm going to use CUDA if available. As far as I know there are
no drivers for Pointcloud2 topics that uses GPU to perform heaviest
elaborations such as RGB-3D data registration.
