broadcaster.start()

# Add sensor measurement
from src.camera.pose_tracker import IMUMeasurement
imu = IMUMeasurement(
    timestamp=time.time_ns(),
    angular_velocity=np.array([0.01, 0.02, 0.005]),
    linear_acceleration=np.array([0.0, 0.0, 9.81]),

# Get pose
pose = tracker.get_pose(camera_id=0)
print(f"Position: {pose.position}")
print(f"Orientation: {pose.orientation.as_euler('xyz')}")

# Get accuracy
