Hi all,

My question is very simple.

I followed this tutorial to use an Intel D435i with ROS. When I execute this command:

roslaunch realsense2_camera rs_camera.launch

I obtain as a result a huge list of topics published by this nodelet:

I'm pretty sure that the huge number of topics to be published cause this nodelet to consume many resources. As a result I can see (with "rostopic hz") that the frequency of the /camera/aligned_depth_to_color/image_raw is ~12Hz while it should be 30Hz. Plus, I really don't need all those topics.

Is there a way not to publish all "compressed" image topics and save some computational resources?

Thanks.
