Overview
What it does: Robotheca's summary
- Provides cv_bridge, which converts between ROS 2 image messages and OpenCV image representations.
- Provides image_geometry, a collection of methods for working with image and pixel geometry.
- Includes opencv_tests, integration tests that exercise the packages together with OpenCV.
- Provides vision_opencv, a meta-package that installs both cv_bridge and image_geometry.
- Built for computationally efficient, real-time computer vision work with OpenCV.
