Set seed to stabilize results? #758

Hi, I am currently developing my own SLAM system and I would like to compare it with other methods. However, I'm facing a challenge with ORB_SLAM3, as its results vary in every experiment due to randomization. Comparing them becomes difficult, even when running the system multiple times and calculating average values, which is time-consuming. Is there any way to stabilize the results of ORB_SLAM3?

I too, am interested in this topic. Where should we set the seed? Is the MLPnpSolver the only part of ORB-SLAM3 that requires randomness?
