Vive tracker looses tracking with "Resetting tracking: unlikely gravity 10.3 m/s/s " and "Resetting tracking: IMU misalignment unreasonably large (-10, 11, 3.7) deg sigma 0.93"

Hello everyone,

I am using the Vive tracker (blue button in the center) with 4 SteamVR Base Stations 2.0 to measure the pose of an RC car. The tracker is rigidly mounted to the chassis of the car and the car is driving around an indoor track with an area of 6 x 4.5 m. The base stations are mounted on tripods and placed at the corners of the track area. While running the car over the last week, I have observed that the system looses track of the trackers intermittently and prints the following messages to the console.

Based on my understanding of the issue from looking at previous posts, the "unlikely gravity" message means that the tracker is experiencing high acceleration and saturating some predefined threshold (please correct me if I'm wrong). I believe that this could be due to vibrations as the car is running. However it seems that the system fails to reset tracking multiple times and prints the "IMU misalignment unreasonably large" message. I was hoping that someone here could shed some light on what is happening. Keep in mind that the car was in motion while tracking was being reset and please let me know if you would like more information. Thanks in advance!
