%% Assumptions
%  - Landmarks as 8 vertices of a cube: (10,10,10) (-10,10,10) etc...
%  - Cameras are on a circle around the cube, pointing at the world origin
%  - Each camera sees all landmarks. 
%  - Visual measurements as 2D points are given, corrupted by Gaussian noise.

%% Generate simulated data
% 3D landmarks as vertices of a cube
points = {gtsamPoint3([10 10 10]'),...
    gtsamPoint3([-10 10 10]'),...
    gtsamPoint3([-10 -10 10]'),...
    gtsamPoint3([10 -10 10]'),...
    gtsamPoint3([10 10 -10]'),...
    gtsamPoint3([-10 10 -10]'),...
    gtsamPoint3([-10 -10 -10]'),...
    gtsamPoint3([10 -10 -10]')};
