Can velocity be estimated with pose and motor thrust?

PX4 Autopilot
1

Hi everyone, I am trying to do some GPS denied navigation stuff but vision alone is not reliable enough with my setup. I have found some researches estimating current velocity with motor thrust and current pose, I assume that PX4 also does this kind of estimation to control the flight velocity? Is there a way to get this info to my companion computer?
Thanks

You can get info to your companion computer using MAVLink (and then using MAVSDK) or you can use the ROS 2 bridge.
