Map Erases itself randomly after a certain amount of Time #40

Closed BearrGod closed 1 month ago

BearrGod commented 2 months ago

Hello. I'm using Mins to Construct a dense map of an indoor environment. So i've set the threshold of the map_decay_dist to 1000 and map_decay_time to 3600 to avoid map erasure overall. But after some time the map gets erased. Does someone have an explanation for that ? Or perhaps are there other options i'm missing here.

you also need to disable map_do_downsample: false as it sparsifies the lidar map.

I figured the reason for the map erasure lied in the fact that i lack computing power, and from here since the process cannot be done in real time , the map is reinitialized. In my case i just made it +10 seconds to delay the erasure , but would be nice to have it as a parameter.
