**Can anyone explain the different types of image data **
Like Raw, Compressed, Depth, Theora
What is the difference between them btw.
Hi @sachinkum123567,
These are all different ways of transporting image data in ROS:
- Raw means the image as it is without any manipulation.
- Compressed and Compressed Depth involved some compression of the raw image data to facilitate faster transport.
- Theora is another form of compression suitable for live video feeds.
