Difference between this repo and tensroflow_ros_cpp?

[mikexyl]

hello, I try to use tensorflow in my ros application. But i am confused with these two repo, they looks really similar to me. tf_ros_cpp requires tf_catkin as a dependency, but tf_catkin looks like already usable in catkin environment. Which one should I use?

tensorflow_catkin takes care of compiling TensorFlow using CMake - as such it probably does not work with recent versions of TensorFlow, I only tested with 1.8.

tensorflow_ros_cpp requires TensorFlow to be already installed and compiled, either through tensorflow_catkin (CMake), pip, or Bazel. It seems to be well maintained and work with recent versions of TensorFlow (up to 1.15 apparently).
