For better evaluation of the system we use the simulated environment where the optical flow and IMU data is generated from the ground truth by adding noise.

The system processes the marginalization data and extracts the non-linear factors from them. Roll-pitch and relative-pose factors are initially added to the system. One way to verify that they result in gravity-aligned map is the following
* `optimize` runs the optimization
