Description

I am facing a strange issue when most of the time the node outputs 3-4 FPS while a realsense outputting image and other topics at ~90FPS.

image

I am running the stock ros2 launch isaac_ros_visual_slam isaac_ros_visual_slam_realsense.launch.py.

The strange thing is, sometimes it just runs smoothly on ~90fps.

Its running on 2060 RTX, with no obvious difference in htop or nvidia-smi.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with the stock ros2 launch isaac_ros_visual_slam isaac_ros_visual_slam_realsense.launch.py command, comparing the node's 3–4 FPS with the RealSense topics near 90 FPS. Use htop and nvidia-smi during both slow and smooth runs; done means the intermittent frame-rate cause is identified and documented or fixed.
