Adding more cameras to VIO
-
Hi,
is my assumption correct that only one camera + imu is used for the position estimation? Is it possible to include more tracking cameras?
Background:
I have 4 tracking cameras one at each side of my drone. Including these into the qvio-server should improve the position estimate right? -

Even small timestamp offsets between sensors can throw VIO off pretty badly. I’d also keep an eye on bandwidth and CPU usage because extra camera streams add up fast on embedded systems.
