Does the camera has to be set to face the ceiling?

Is it OK if I use the camera to face forward?

izhengfan commented 5 years ago

It is Ok.

Just that we find facing upward gives the best accuracy, because the depths of the feature points are stable, and there are less dynamic features.

Great. Thanks a lot.
