Description

Hello,
Great appreciation for the work on this project.

I have recently tried using Vicon with and Ardupilot based quadcopter, when there are other selected objects in the area covered by the Vicon cameras. I set the Vicon module to connect to the object I wanted to track. However, the vehicle occasionally loses its position (in Position/Altitude hold modes) and when performing an autonomous mission with about 1.66m/s speed, it suddenly goes of course at some point.

Please advise on any adjustments I can make to have this working.

Kind regards

Research direction

Start with MAVProxy's Vicon module and reproduce tracking with more than one selected Vicon object, including Position/Altitude hold and an autonomous mission. The payload names no file or test; done means identifying why the vehicle loses position or goes off course and documenting or validating a reliable adjustment.
