Revision history [back]

You'll want to use the depth image proc package this can subscribe to the registered color and depth images from the camera and combine them into a color point cloud message (XYZRGB).

You very rarely have to deal with blob data in messages directly, there are a range of converters and methods built into ROS allowing you to access the formatted data directly. Hope this gets you moving in the right direction.
