Understanding the local map frame #1849

Open napopano opened 2 years ago

napopano commented 2 years ago

I am not able to understand what the local map frame is supposed to mean. Is it a common frame across submaps as opposed to the submap frame that is specific to a submap?

Also, what is the local pose of a submap initialized to when it is created?
