Description

If I understand correctly, an IMU is (for now) essentially a failover to be used in case visual tracking is lost; does this mean that pose calculations are done exclusively using the stereo camera while tracking is available, and until proper visual-inertial fusion is implemented, the rate of publication for odometry messages will exactly match the image publication rate?
Thanks!

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing the visual tracking, IMU fallback, and odometry publication paths to determine whether publication is tied to camera input; done means answering the rate question or defining a confirmed implementation scope.
