Replaces the publisher in
pointcloud_filter.cppwith a point_cloud_transport publisher. point_cloud_transport is similar to image_transport, and makes topics available for each installed point_cloud_transport plugin.RViz uses point_cloud_transport too and with these changes, it is possible to compress / decompress point clouds efficiently without the need for separate compression / decompression nodes. In RViz, you need to manually enter the "/zstd" topic suffix (if using zstd plugin), as the compressed transports don't show up in the drop down automatically.
