I believe this is related to a configuration file that does not match my target marker specs.

Is the Show Arrows checkbox checked for the TF display in RViz?

yes....i turned off the other frames to show only the camera_frame and object_position is shown. Note the camera_frame would not show if the show arrows was off.

I'm a little confused: I think only Show Axes off would not show the camera frame (only the name)? Turning Show Arrows off should just remove the 'lines' between the frames.

yes, you are right. However I do have the show arrows set to on in the example.

The object_position transform has a much older timestamp than the rest of the transforms.
odom: Most Recent: 1675.964
base_footprint: Most Recent: 1675.911
object_position: Most Recent: 1207.226

I think the default timeout for frames in rviz is 10 seconds, and in this case the object_position transform is more than 400 seconds out of date.

The tracker_mbt node clock seems to be different than the rest of the system.

I see what you are saying but I do not see why it should, in fact I think my cofig file is wrong. Which is something else as I think it is not being processed. which is that it should not be process a object position at all?
