Has anybody used this publisher? I can't seem to find any examples of this and the Vrep API doesn't seem to have it (for vision sensors can get depth, or image but not both) and it doesn't seem to be any of the simExtRosInterface_* functionsAdded a ROS publisher for vision sensor depth data as RGBD point cloud, courtesy of Cedric Pradalier.

Re: Example of ROS RGBD data publisher
Hello,
you are referring to the old Ros plugin, which shouldn't be used anymore. Make sure to use the new RosInterface. With the new interface you can basically use any type of message in a very similar way as you would do in a C/C++ application. Make sure to carefully inspect and try to understand the example scene rosInterfaceTopicPublisherAndSubscriber.ttt.
Cheers
