LingGS: Decoupling Feed-Forward Geometry Prediction from Camera Tracking for High-Fidelity Gaussian SLAM

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

The paper introduces LingGS, an online monocular RGB Gaussian splatting SLAM system that decouples feed‑forward geometry prediction from camera tracking. By leveraging a frozen streaming 3D foundation model as a virtual RGB‑D sensor for depth estimation and an explicit geometric solver for camera motion via feature reprojection, LingGS achieves higher tracking accuracy than learned predictions. Experiments on indoor and outdoor datasets demonstrate significant improvements in reconstruction quality, achieving about 7 FPS on a single RTX 4090 and 2–3× the throughput of prior SLAM systems.

TAPVid-MV: A Benchmark for Tracking Any Point in 3D Across Multiple Views

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.

Anchor3R: Streaming 3D Reconstruction with Transient Anchors for Long-Horizon Visual Mapping

Anchor3R is a streaming 3D reconstruction framework that predicts window-relative poses and local geometry in the current‑frame coordinate system, forming a dense relative‑pose graph for online pose updates and loop‑aware motion averaging. It improves long‑horizon pose accuracy and dense reconstruction quality on indoor, outdoor, driving, and RGB‑D benchmarks, and generalizes from 48‑frame training sequences to streams exceeding 10,000 frames while keeping GPU memory bounded. The method addresses issues of train‑test mismatch, early‑anchor bias, and accumulated drift found in previous streaming models.

LonGaussian: Tracking Foundation Priors for Long-Context Feedforward Gaussian Reconstruction

LonGaussian is a streaming feed‑forward framework that reconstructs compact, globally renderable Gaussian scenes from long image sequences with known intrinsics and unknown camera poses. It decodes long‑context geometric features into dense Gaussians, links repeated observations via multi‑frame point tracks, and consolidates predictions with a learned merger. Rendered‑depth consistency filtering removes incorrectly occluding Gaussians, leading to improved novel‑view rendering quality on DL3DV and RealEstate10K benchmarks while using fewer Gaussians than baseline methods.

VGGT-GS SLAM: Uncalibrated Monocular Gaussian Splatting SLAM with Feed-Forward Priors

VGGT-GS SLAM is a monocular 3D Gaussian Splatting SLAM system that operates on uncalibrated videos. It uses feed‑forward VGGT pose and depth priors to perform submap differentiable bundle adjustment, jointly refining camera poses, a 3D Gaussian map, and submap‑shared intrinsics and distortion parameters via analytic calibration Jacobians. The method introduces Gaussian‑native alignment for camera‑anchored scale refinement between submaps and loop‑closure verification, achieving improved localization accuracy and rendering quality on standard indoor benchmarks.
