Restart visual odometry

Hello everybody. I have a question and I'm sorry if it sounds like a stupid question, but I haven't found an answer on my own. I use rtabmap to get visual odometry from Intel RealSense D435i video streaming. I have seen that the quality of the visual odometry drops to 0 after a quick turn. Is it possible to restart visual odometry from the estimated position at a later time using it as a new starting point?

Automatically, set Odom/ResetCountdown parameter to restart odometry from latest odometry pose:

<node pkg="rtabmap_ros" type="rgbd_odometry" name="rgbd_odometry">
    <param name="Odom/ResetCountdown" value="1">
    ...
</node>

In the code, this is done here.

Manually, you can call /rtabmap/reset_odom (reset to Identity origin) or /rtabmap/reset_odom_to_pose (reset to new odometry origin).
