Hi, my setup currently is using ccny_rgbd to provide /vo data and then using this with gmapping. If I publish odometry transforms then the vo corrects the odometry too much, what is the best way to change odom so it has a higher priority and robot_pose_ekf takes into account odom more than vo?
This is controlled by the covariance part of the of the nav_msgs/Odometry and sensor_msgs/Imu messages subscribed to by robot_pose_ekf. Larger values in the covariance will cause that source to be "trusted" less.
Do you have any idea what sort of number range to put them as or can you link to some theory about it? Thanks. This is how it is set up for the /vo; I don't understand covariance matrices, I found this code on an answer here. Can you explain why 3 of the numbers are the 9s? odom.pose.covariance = boost::assign::list_of(VISUAL_COVARIANCE)(0)(0)(0)(0)(0) + (0)(VISUAL_COVARIANCE)(0)(0)(0)(0) + (0)(0)(999999)(0)(0)(0) + (0)(0)(0)(999999)(0)(0) + (0)(0)(0)(0)(999999)(0) + (0)(0)(0)(0)(0)(VISUAL_COVARIANCE); From: http://answers.ros.org/question/66489/combine-visual-odometry-data-from-ccny_rgbd-with-encodersimu/
