I process a bag file with rtabmap and rgbd odometry.
The odometry (/rtabmap/odom) in rviz shows colored (purple and yellow) dots in different sizes.
Can someone tell me what they mean?
The closest I got was in this video, but the yellow circles there refer to something else, I think.
Thanks, Avner
These appear to be PoseWithCovariance messages being displayed in arrow mode. They will probably make more sense if you set them to be displayed as axes using the drop down in RVIZ.
The yellow blobs you can see are actually ellipses and they describe the angular uncertainty of the pose estimate while the purple ellipsoid in the centre describes the position uncertainty of the pose estimate.
Hope this helps.
Link to (one of the) package(s) that provides such a plugin: rviz_plugin_covariance.
Apparently part of RViz since ros-visualization/rviz#1099.
