* Example of a simple 2D localization example
* - Robot poses are facing along the X axis (horizontal, to the right in 2D)
* - The robot moves 2 meters each step
* - We have full odometry between poses
* Example of a simple 2D localization example optimized using METIS ordering
* - For more details on the full optimization pipeline, see OdometryExample.cpp

// We will use Pose2 variables (x, y, theta) to represent the robot positions
#include <gtsam/geometry/Pose2.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 Between factors for the relative motion described by odometry measurements.
// Also, we will initialize the robot at the origin using a Prior factor.
#include <gtsam/slam/PriorFactor.h>
#include <gtsam/slam/BetweenFactor.h>
// When the factors are created, we will add them to a Factor Graph. As the factors we are using
// are nonlinear factors, we will need a Nonlinear Factor Graph.
#include <gtsam/nonlinear/NonlinearFactorGraph.h>
// Finally, once all of the factors have been added to our factor graph, we will want to
// solve/optimize to graph to find the best (Maximum A Posteriori) set of variable values.
// GTSAM includes several nonlinear optimizers to perform this step. Here we will use the
// Levenberg-Marquardt solver
#include <gtsam/nonlinear/LevenbergMarquardtOptimizer.h>
// Once the optimized values have been calculated, we can also calculate the marginal covariance
// of desired variables
#include <gtsam/nonlinear/Marginals.h>
// The nonlinear solvers within GTSAM are iterative solvers, meaning they linearize the
// nonlinear functions around an initial linearization point, then solve the linear system
// to update the linearization point. This happens repeatedly until the solver converges
// to a consistent set of variable values. This requires us to specify an initial guess
// for each variable, held in a Values container.
