Design Improvement Suggestion on Pose Publishing

andresgalaviz opened this issue · 2 comments

Hello,

I see that the Pose of the detection is published as a TF transform instead of a Pose message. Is there a particular reason this approach was taken?

It seems rather odd to publish it as a TF transform, which is usually reserved for frames of reference. Would it be possible to instead publish the detection as a "Pose" inside the current detection message? That would be more in-line with other ROS perception nodes and make it very simple for it to be "plug and play" with other ROS applications.

Sure! That seems reasonable. It was convenient to have the updates appear in the frame graph but it doesn't have to be.

#13 should resolve this
