    @Jetson-Nano , it seems you are using cameras that output image resolution of 1280x800 but the calibration files contain information for 640x480 resolution. Wrong calibration files?

    Please double check this.

      @Alex-Kushleyev can you please share the calibration file opencv_tracking_open_intrinsics.yml and opencv_tracking_down_intrinsics.yml.

        @Jetson-Nano Is this a Starling 2 drone that you're using? If so, if you provide the serial number of the drone I can provide the calibration files. If not, you'll have to do the calibration yourself using a calibration card.

          @tom Yes I am using the starling 2 drone. I changed the camera modules to the latest cameras with M0173 board.
          where will I find the serial number?

            @Jetson-Nano The serial number is likely located somewhere on the frame of the drone. Should be on a white sticker and have the form MXX00000XXX

                  @Jetson-Nano oh sorry I missed that you swapped to the M0173 + AR0144s, in that case you will have to recalibrate the cameras yourself as all I have is the original camera calibration which won't match your new setup

                      Still I am not able to get data from voxl-mapper. how can I use the vio data from open-vins-server rather qvio-server

                      @Jetson-Nano , can you please clarify what you are working on? Are you setting single camera QVIO or your custom drone or dual camera Open Vins? Is it a custom drone and have you created correct extrinsic calibration files for the cameras / IMU transforms?

                        @Alex-Kushleyev, I using voxl2 with M0173 board with camera config 29.
                        The errors are now solved, I made the necessary changes and reconfigured every server and pipeline and calibrated the cameras.
