rtabmap issue with loop closure

edit

Hello, I have an rtabmap setup with:

• Stereo camera for mapping with rtab
• Wheel odometry only

In simulation and also real life I am getting incorrect loop closure that seem to mess up a good map. Is there any obvious stuff I'm doing wrong here?

Here is my rtabmap launch file:

PS: This might be a simple issue having to do with my simulation cause the ground is very ... (more)
