Orientation estimate in sensor_msgs/Imu
horverno opened this issue · 4 comments
In the /gps/duro/imu
message the orientation
is zero right now, although it is provided by the sensor in the message /gps/duro/rollpitchyaw
. It needs to be converted to geometry_msgs/Quaternion
and fill out in a proper way.

Dear @horverno, do you have any updates on this aspect? do you have any suggestions for implementing this enhancement?
Dear @enricobellocchio i am planning to implement this, it is quite easy to do, but right now i am a bit busy
basically what has to be done is to fill the imu_ros_msg.orientation
in duro.cpp with the proper quaternions form the sensor
@enricobellocchio i fixed it, but please note orientation is a slower, estimated value compared to the other IMU messages which are not calculated only published as raw data in the correct unit
Thank you very much!
