how to get the ground truth map from ORB_SLAM

Hi,

I want to get the map scale form the map which is build by ORB_slam2. Example, there are two camera center kp1(x1-coordinate,y2-coordinate) , kp2(x2-coordinate,y2-coordinate), then i will know the distance between kp1 and kp2( in coordinate). But what's the real distance(m)(in the real word)? i think i need to get the scale between coordinate and meter. But i don't know where is the map scale in the ORB_slam2 code(now I am a rookie ...). Could you tell me how to get the real map?? thank you very much!!

Are you using Monocular, RGBD or Stereo algorithm? ORBslam2 comes with the three approaches implemented. From a theoretical point of view, if you are using monocular approach, the map that you will obtain is not metric.

Is that mean that i couldn't get the distance(m) if using monocular approach? What about the stereo algorithm??
