Hi everybody, I can run mono_odometer application properly, but I continue to get the warning showed in the title. How to fix it? How can I set the tf from /base_link' to '/camera' ?

Kind regards. Aldo

Do you know the tf library? If not, read up on that.

You need to define a transform from /base_link to /camera, i.e. basically where it is mounted on the robot. If that is fixed, you can use a static_transform_publisher, otherwise define a URDF description.

I know how to create a tf object , but I don't know how to set it. In particularly, I don't know how to set base_link_frame_id tf of viso2ros.

Use a static_transform_publisher or create an urdf. You can also use a custom TransformBroadcaster if necessary.

ok, I've used roscd tf ./bin/static_transform_publisher 0 0 2 0.0 0.0 0.0 /base_link /camera 100

I'd advise to use rosrun. Also units are in meters, so 2 seems large (but might be correct)
