为什么要初始化
非线性VINS估计器的性能对于初始的速度，尺度，重力向量，空间点3D位置，以及外参等非常敏感。在很多场合中，能做到相机和IMU即插即用，线上自动校准与初始化，将会给用户带来极大的方便性。VINS里面分四步进行，第一个就是上次讲的旋转外参校准，第二个就是找到某帧作为系统初始化原点，计算3D地图点，第三就是将相机坐标系转到IMU坐标系中，第四就是相机与IMU对齐，包括IMU零偏初始化，速度，重力向量，尺度初始化

2. 通过这些地图点，利用pnp的方法计算l+1, l+2, l+3, …… frame_num-2 相对于l的位姿。而且每计算一帧，就会与frame_num - 1帧进行三角化，得出更多地图点
3. 三角化l+1, l+2 …… frame_num-2帧与l帧
4. 对l-1, l-2, l-3 等帧与sfm_f的特征点队列进行pnp求解，得出相对于l的位姿，并三角化其与l帧。
5. 三角化剩余的点
6. ceres全局BA优化，最小化3d投影误差

3. RefineGravity()重力向量优化:进一步细化重力加速度，提高估计值的精度，形式与LinearAlignment()是一致的，只是将g改为g⋅ĝ +w1b1+w2b2
