Existing Gaussian-splatting-based monocular Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) systems are either tailored to short sequences, are not real-time, or suffer from prohibitive GPU memory requirements, limiting their applicability in realistic, long-horizon scenarios. To address this, we present GLAM-SLAM, a real-time, decoupled Gaussian-splatting SLAM system designed for large-scale outdoor scenes.

CGS‑SLAM is a hybrid decentralized/centralized SLAM system that enables multi‑agent 3D Gaussian Splatting reconstruction using only RGB images and inertial data. Each agent locally tracks motion with inertial priors, builds a scaled map via a monocular depth estimator, and shares keyframe encodings to facilitate dynamic keyframing and submap alignment. A central server then aligns submaps with a view‑alignment model, keeping communication costs low while achieving competitive tracking, higher rendering quality, and accurate submap alignment in GNSS‑denied environments.

TAPVid-MV is a new benchmark for tracking any point in 3D across multiple synchronized camera views. It comprises 284 sequences, 1,142 calibrated camera streams, and 109,769 point tracks, covering indoor and outdoor domains and derived from various modalities such as depth, LiDAR, SLAM, and simulation. The dataset is visually verified, and evaluation shows that current multi‑view trackers do not consistently outperform monocular trackers, highlighting geometry recovery as a key bottleneck.
