add `offset_time` field for pointcloud2 msg

Open MerdanBay opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

Since point time stamp is coming handy in most of algorithms, is there any reason we don't publish pointcloud2 msg with offset_time extended field, shown as follow. if i remember correctly someone already did this in ros1 driver for lddc.cpp

  cloud.fields[6].offset = 18;
  cloud.fields[6].name = "offset_time";
  cloud.fields[6].count = 1;
  cloud.fields[6].datatype = sensor_msgs::msg::PointField::UINT32;
