Other

• Looking for ICP configuration file for L515 and Kinect Azure, see release 0.20.8.
• Windows High CPU Usage: this can be related to OpenMP, try setting environment variable OMP_WAIT_POLICY to passive.
• SuperPoint weights can be downloaded in assets below for convenience (tested with CUDA release).
• See Installation page for additional installation instructions depending on your platform and the camera you are using (e.g., drivers).
