Hi. I got some rosbag data of a camera sensor for a deep learning dataset. I'm gonna extract jpg files from it.

The data is from PC mounted on the vehicle, but I think image extraction should be run on my laptop.

Is it okay with it?

The reason why is I'm thinking about whether I should install ROS on my laptop.

If not, How can I?

I would appreciate if you answer me.

It is quite common to play rosbag files on a different machine than the one on which they were recorded. If you install the same ROS distribution on your laptop, this should work just fine. (There are also ways to migrate from older rosbag files using the rosbag CLI, if necessary)

Since you mentioned that you need to extract images from the bag files, this rosbag tutorial might also be of interest to you. I hope that helps.
