transform_pointcloud

ROS nodelet that transforms pointcloud (sensor_msgs/Pointcloud or sensor_msgs/Pointcloud) to some other TF frame (e.g. from "camera_frame" to "base_link"). It uses sensor_msgs/point_cloud_conversion.h for conversion. It will publish both Pointcloud and Pointcloud2 messages for any input type (if any node is subscribed to it)
