In this document I provide a hands-on introduction to both factor graphs
and GTSAM.
This is an updated version from the 2012 TR that is tailored to our GTSAM

In some cases you want to go even beyond Lie groups to a looser concept,

manifolds

, because not all unknown variables behave like a group, e.g., the space of
3D planes, 2D lines, directions in space, etc.
For manifolds we do not always have an exponential map, but we have a retractio
n that plays the same role.
Some of this is explained here:
