Hi,
I followed the NVIDIA Isaac ROS YOLOv8 Quickstart isaac_ros_yolov8 Quickstart and successfully ran it on my Jetson Orin Nano and Intel RealSense Depth Camera , although I noticed it’s a bit heavy on the system.

Now, I would like to publish depth topics from the RealSense camera together with the object detection results from isaac_ros_yolov8. Could anyone guide me on how to set this up? Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

My environment is as follows:

  • Device: Jetson Orin Nano
  • Camera: Intel RealSense Depth Camera D457 (connected via USB3.2)
  • Operating System: JetPack 6.0 (rev2)

Thank you!

Hi @sakamaki

Thank you for your post.

To publish depth topics from realsense2_camera for this yolov8 demo, you can set enable_depth as true in /opt/ros/humble/share/isaac_ros_realsense/config/realsense_mono.yaml.
