I am trying to get ros-kinetic-desktop onto Ubuntu 16.04 - ARM. However, I would like to build opencv library 3.1.0 with cuda support and use it for ROS applications instead of the custom ros package opencv3. Looking at the reverse dependencies on ros-kinetic-opencv3, I am assuming that I need to build the packages rqt-image-view and cv-bridge from source and link them with the new opencv that I am building. However, I am clueless of how to do this. Could someone please confirm if the above mentioned two packages are the only ones required to be built and I would appreciate if you could also guide me through the procedure of how it is to be done. Thank you.

Hey,

why you want to use the Version 3.1.0 at the moment opencv3 package of ROS use 3.2.0. Therefore when you compile 3.2.0 with cuda support a build of rqt-image-view and cv-bridge should not be necessary or I'm wrong with this idea? Take a look on the opencv3 package side.

Oh. You mean that instead of building two packages that depend on opencv, I could just fetch the source code for opencv3 and add Cuda support while building it. That makes sense but I'm not sure if it works. I'll probably give it a try. But if anyone who is sure can confirm it, that'd be assuring
