Re: [open-vins mask file location](/topic/4293/open-vins-mask-file-location)

Dear All,

Regarding the previous post of @Jeremy-Frederick I'm still being unable to find the **Open-VINS** mask file location to apply different masks to each camera.

Can you comment on that?

Thank you in advance.

Best Regards, 
Jacob

@jakkkkobo 

Hello, 
We currently do not ship any mask files with our airframes, as they are normally not required. In addition, you should be able to use a mask with minor modifications on the server side, namely VoxlCam directory inside voxl-open-vins-server repo. (The mono camera case should be a good starting point, as we already have the masking logic for occluded cams during takeoff.)

Furthermore, as we use a custom interface/backend for OV, loading the mask as done in the traditional OV-ROS format won’t work as intended, i.e., via Yaml. 

All the best, 
ZBFT

@zauberflote1 ok, thank you!

I will try to implement the mask as in VoxlCam.

Jacob
