+## Description
+
 This repository contains **maplab**,  an  open,  research-oriented visual-inertial  mapping  framework, written  in  C++,  for  creating, processing  and  manipulating  multi-session  maps.
 On  the  one  hand, maplab  can  be  considered  as  a  ready-to-use  visual-inertial mapping  and  localization  system.
 On  the  other  hand,  maplab provides  the  research  community  with  a  collection  of  multi-session mapping tools that include map merging, visual-inertial batch optimization, and loop closure.
