Debayer node is missing

[ndahn]

It would be very nice to have a Debayer node as this format can save a big chunk of bandwidth for cameras that support it.

For reference, the debayer node from the regular image_proc can be found here:

Thanks for your feature request. We don't currently have plans to add a Debayer node to Isaac ROS.

However, you're welcome to write your own node and accelerate it using CUDA with NITROS. Depending on your requirements, you might already see a significant gain if you just move the transport in/out of the node to NITROS, while still using the standard CPU implementation of the debayer operation from image_proc.

@ndahn did you end up implementing it yourself or did you find another alternative ?
Having the same issue currently.
Thank you
