Description

Hello,
The camera on my robot is mounted pointed upwards . VSLAM seems to be having trouble
with this setup. It looses "Visual Tracking" frequently and creates a map (as visualized in RVIZ)
which looks like it is at an angle to the ground plane. The visual track has a vertical component as well.
I have set "force_planar" to true. Is there something I can tweak to make this work.
It works fine in the same environment when I straighten the camera to point in the direction of motion.

Thank you
Sandeep
