Yes I know but I did install ros full version so as I don't miss any package.

Installing ros-$distro-desktop-full does not result in all packages getting installed. The various metapackages provide you with a convenient way to install a select set of them, but definitely not all. See REP-142: ROS Indigo and Newer Metapackages - Desktop variants.

I get

[rospack] Error: package 'cv_bridge' not found

That would seem to indicate that cv_bridge is not installed on your machine. Check with dpkg -l | grep cv-bridge. If that also doesn't result in cv_bridge being found, then install it with (on Ubuntu):

sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-cv-bridge

and try again.

Edit: cv_bridge should be installed as part of vision_opencv which is (through perception) part of desktop_full, so not having cv_bridge would be strange if you did in fact install desktop_full.
