Description

This node supposedly has better performance for camera connected through USB.

https://github.com/yoshito-n-students/usb_cam_hardware

It would be really important to test with the Orbbec Astra Embedded S camera to see if the node can communicate with it. Maybe the Astra camera ROS driver has something special (https://github.com/orbbec/ros_astra_camera).
