Hi, I'm trying to publish a point cloud which corresponds to given pixel indices.

I'm using Realsense camera so will use similar terminology.

  1. I have certain indices of a color image, namely, Nx2 array indices where indices[i, :] = [i, j] for the pixel (i, j).
  2. I subscribe a depth image aligned to color image, namely, alinged_depth.
  3. I wanna get a point cloud (both PointCloud2 and PointCloud) which corresponds to the given indices, indices.

Is there any workaround for this?

You need the define the fields that your new PointCloud2 will have, create a list of objects (individual points) with corresponding values, then convert the raw data into a message. See this example:
