Dear people
I do have the following setup.
-PixHawk 4 mini
-PX4FLOW V2.3
-ZED stereo camera
-Jetson TX2
-GPS
The communication from the companion board (Jetson TX2) to the groundcontrol station is via wireless.
I have been using the GPS for outdoor flight, however the ZED camera odom position estimate would be like to be use with the GPS to have a better position estimation during the flight and to be used in GPS denied environments.
The following things were done.
-
A topic remapping under
mavros_node
which is innode.launch
was made.
<remap from="mavros/vision_pose/pose" to="/tbsd_zed/pose">
both topics are of the type
geometry_msgs/PoseStamped
-
I have set the following parameters under
QgroundControl
stationEKF2_AID_MASK = GPS + vision_position_fusion + rotate_external_vision.
EKF2_HGT_MODE = vision
However when I take a look at the Mavlink Inspector, I do not see any vision data.
What I am doing wrong??
Any help and advise I really appreciate it thank you
