Hi Christian,

Have you tested these steps for kinect azure on ROS2: http://official-rtab-map-forum.206.s1.nabble.com/Differences-between-ROS-output-vs-desktop-td9333.html#a9334

If not, they would improve a lot visual odometry accuracy.

If you are going outdoor on a large crop field like in the link you shared, I would prefer a stereo camera to get unlimited range for motion estimation. Visual odometry will be more accurate.

cheers,
Mathieu
