(1) The red dot and bar indicate the pose estimate of the robot.
(2) The black crosses are the ground truth location of the landmarks.
(3) The ellipses are the error ellipses of estimated position of robot and landmarks.

(1) The arrow represent the position and orientation of the particle with the highest weight (which could be different at different time step).
(2)The red dots represent the position of each particle.
(3) The red pixels represent the path of the particle with the highest weight.
(4) The gray pixels represent the path of all particles (some of paths may be disappear because of the resampling step).
(5) The blue crosses represent the ground-true position of the landmarks.
(6) The blue dots represent the estimated landmark positions of each particle.
(7) The ellipse is the error ellipse of estimated landmark positions of the particle with the highest weight.
Given the graph in which every node corresponds to a pose of the robot during mapping and every edge corresponds to a spatial constraint between two nodes (obtained by Front-End), find a node configuration that minimize the error introduced by the constraints.
Blue crosses represent the nodes. Red dots represent the landmarks. Green lines represent the edges.

(1) The black dots X are in the reference reference point set.
(2) The blue dots P0 are the points to be matched with the reference.
(3) The red dots P are the point set after the rotation and translation in each iteration.
(4) The lines between X and P indicate the matches.\
The red line is the ground truth trajectory while the orange line is the trajectory after the calibration.
