Hello, I am working on a project having a realsense camera in a gazebo robot model and would like to manipulate it with rospy or roscpp. (The camera should identify the color in the gazebo environment ). Thanks

I need to play back the rosbag at a slower speed to capture all the frames, or some of them will be lost. Is there a more elegant solution?

I think on the ros Wiki, there a Parameter where you can adjust the playback speed.
