Description

Problem statement

When we have a CuDepthMap or even a simple image, we might need down the pipeline a way to know the original physical characteristics of the sensor like the calibration and field of view.

Today we have a way to override parameters on the original source for each specific instances of a robot but we have no way to share that info with a task downstream.

Proposed solution

Maybe something that looks like the resources instead of repeating it on the copperlist.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the existing resources implementation in copper rs, then design a similar mechanism to attach sensor calibration data to data streams. Focus on how resources are created, stored, and accessed, and propose a way to extend this to sensor parameters.
