// This header declares the MapMaker class
// MapMaker makes and maintains the Map struct
// Starting with stereo initialisation from a bunch of matches
// over keyframe insertion, continual bundle adjustment and 
// data-association refinement.
// MapMaker runs in its own thread, although some functions
// (notably stereo init) are called by the tracker and run in the 
// tracker's thread.
