Is Loop closure correction considered in VIO Backend? #235

Open Mikhail2017 opened 4 months ago

Mikhail2017 commented 4 months ago

Hello. According to the scheme, presented in the paper, and the code investigation, loop closure results from RPGO are just published outside Kimera. However it looks strange, because a new map after drift correction (last keyframes and landmarks) should be used by the backend for poses estimation (like in ORB-SLAM 2/3). Have I missed something?
