3. Adapt the RealSense ROS wrapper to publish a single interpolated IMU message [(see nodelet xml)](https://github.com/IntelRealSense/realsense-ros/blob/c2448916218ccfe49b0d642563493cb4e9bdcc3b/realsense2_camera/launch/includes/nodelet.launch.xml#L82)

4. Make sure to properly cover the infrared projector on the RealSense (this otherwise affects the quality of the infrared image with dots)
4. The RealSense has an IR emitter on it to improve its RGBD stream. This creates undesirable dots on the infrared images. To fix this, you can either:
1. Disable the emitter after the RealSense node is up using ```rosrun dynamic_reconfigure dynparam set /camera/stereo_module emitter_enabled 0```
2. Physically cover the emitter on the RealSense

5. Collect calibration bagfiles for camera intrinsics and extrinsics [(see instructions)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puNXsnrYWTY&app=desktop)
