Description
Is it possible to configure OpenSfM to use a local coordinate system, rather than a GPS lat/long etc.?
For example using poses from a robotic gantry or output from pipeline which fuses RTK GPS with other inputs (e.g. ROS robot localization)?
If not - would it be conceivable the implementation of this would be achievable with a little work? I'd be keen to give it a try given some rough guidance about the best way to approach this.

Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is named; begin by tracing where OpenSfM consumes GPS and pose inputs. Define how a local coordinate system and robotic or fused pose data should enter the pipeline, then document and verify the chosen behavior as the completion criterion.
