Black Current Frame and stuck Map Viewer despite correct topic subscription (D435i Monocular)

Author: zzy7569Created Apr 1, 2026Updated Apr 1, 2026

Environment: Ubuntu 20.04, ROS Noetic, RealSense D435i. Problem: Current Frame is black and Map Viewer is stuck while running rosrun ORB_SLAM3 Mono.

Connection Verified: rqt_graph confirms that the /ORB_SLAM3 node is correctly subscribed to /camera/color/image_raw.

Symptoms: The Current Frame window remains completely black; the Map Viewer shows no activity.

Error: No tracking logs appear after Starting the Viewer. A Bus error (core dumped) occurs on exit.
