Hi,

I recently recorded some images with a RGB camera (operating with at 20 Hz) and a Lider (10 Hz). Now I would like to align those two images. However, they are not synchronized due to the different frequencies. Apparently, one could try to synchronize them my manipulating the timestamps like described here: http://wiki.ros.org/message_filters#T.... However, I don't quite understand what does the synchronizer actually do.

Could someone please tell me whether it's the correct the direction and how I should proceed?

The info of my bag reads as the following:
