// This file declares the MapPoint class
// 
// The map is made up of a bunch of mappoints.
// Each one is just a 3D point in the world;
// it also includes information on where and in which key-frame the point was
// originally made from, so that pixels from that keyframe can be used
// to search for that point.
// Also stores stuff like inlier/outlier counts, and privat information for 
// both Tracker and MapMaker.
