Indoor Altitude Estimate Divergence
-
Hey All,
Testing indoors I've had several instances of altitude estimate divergence requiring reversion to manual control and an emergency landing on a starling 2 max.
It seems that the error begins when I activate the offboard mode with the default figure 8 loaded.
My assumption is that as the drone yaws it loses some of the VIO points and is uncertain about its altitude causing a rapid climb in offboard and position modes.What would the best way be to correct this issue?
- I could try to add visual markers (i.e. april tags) to the warehouse walls to provide more references?
- Does the starling 2 max use both forward and downward facing cameras for VIO? I thought I saw a post about this feature being enabled in the nightly builds but am unsure.
- Should I expect these issues to improve inherently by moving into a more visually active space (inside an unoccupied office area)? I am hesitant to fly in more confined areas without being confident in the aircraft estimate and position holding reliability.
Kind regards,
Griffin
