When the state estimator of the real robot (ANYmal C) is reset, the odom and point_cloud_odom frames will likely not coincide as shown in the video; it shows the effect of the state estimator being reset (right after the robot stood up) on the z positions of the frame (only odom moves to the bottom of the feet). Such functionality is built into other modules (e.g. elevation_mapping). Meanwhile, TerrainSimplification package assumes that the frames, before any drift, are perfectly aligned. It needs to be modified.
