[ros-users] sensor_msgs Low Cost/Android review

[Sebastian Zug]

Hi,

other sensor msgs types, that are relevant for smartphones (IMU for
instance) include the the covariance matrices to represent the
measurement uncertainty. Why should the new messages do not provide such
an information?

Best wishes

Sebastian
