Concepts

In g2o, poses are represented as vertices in a graph. In the figure, they are $\left\lbrace x_1, x_2, x_3, x_4, x_5 \right\rbrace$. The edges that join these vertices are odometric measurements.

Landmarks (or features, observations) are represented as a different type of vertices and its corresponding measurement is encoded in the edge that joins a pose vertex to the landmark vertex. These are $\left\lbrace z_1, z_2, z_3 \right\rbrace$ in the figure.
