// For loading the data
#include "SFMdata.h"

// Camera observations of landmarks (i.e. pixel coordinates) will be stored as Point2 (x, y).
#include <gtsam/geometry/Point2.h>

// Each variable in the system (poses and landmarks) must be identified with a unique key.
// We can either use simple integer keys (1, 2, 3, ...) or symbols (X1, X2, L1).
// Here we will use Symbols
#include <gtsam/inference/Symbol.h>

// We want to use iSAM2 to solve the structure-from-motion problem incrementally, so
// include iSAM2 here
#include <gtsam/nonlinear/ISAM2.h>

// iSAM2 requires as input a set set of new factors to be added stored in a factor graph,
// and initial guesses for any new variables used in the added factors
#include <gtsam/nonlinear/NonlinearFactorGraph.h>
#include <gtsam/nonlinear/Values.h>

// In GTSAM, measurement functions are represented as 'factors'. Several common factors
// have been provided with the library for solving robotics/SLAM/Bundle Adjustment problems.
// Here we will use Projection factors to model the camera's landmark observations.
// Also, we will initialize the robot at some location using a Prior factor.
