Can I work on this?

Can I work on this?

Sure! Feel free to implement the interface. The ideal behavioral is to read images from a topic using cv_bridge. Another ideal implementation is to be able to read ROSBags containing pre-recorded videos.

Thank you!

Just to be clear the final goal is to make a node that can implement object detection on images/videos being published on the ROS topics subscribed right?

[naxvm]

Sure! That way this component can make inferences from a source coming from a different ROS node

What is the source of the topic on which the image messages are being published?
