Ahead of #ECCV2024, we held the #MapFreeReloc challenge. The winner is ... 🥁 🥇MASt3R. Congrats to Vincent Leroy, Yohann, Jerome Revaud for first place! No-one was able to beat MASt3R throughout the challenge duration. Nevertheless, we had amazing further submissions! 👇🧵

#ACEZero will be presented in pretty much exactly one week in oral session 2C at #ECCV2024 in Milano. Try the code now, and roast me with live questions! 🫣 github.com/nianticlabs/ac…

Catching the last days of summer in Saxon Switzerland. Filming random stuff. (#ACEZero + Splatfacto)

Are you looking forward to the presentation of MASt3R at #ECCV2024? Let me tell you a secret 🤫🤫🤫 MASt3R gets covered in an extended talk at the #MapFreeReloc workshop by Vincent Leroy on Mon, and a poster too! Skip the line of the main conference, thank me later.

Having fun with MASt3R-SfM 😀 (paper should be on arXiv on Tuesday). (By the way, come see Vincent Leroy 's talk tomorrow morning to the #MapFreeReloc workshop at #ECCV2024)

#MapFreeReloc workshop in progress. The room is relatively small but maybe you can still fit in to hear Jakob Engel tell you about spatial AI. #ECCV2024

I had to try. Not too bad despite the many non-Lambertian surfaces 😉

Attending European Conference on Computer Vision #ECCV2026 and looking for PhD or postdoc positions in 3D reconstruction or visual localization? Happy to talk to you :)

We have released the code and model weights on github.com/nianticlabs/Ha… #ECCV2024

We'll be at poster 105 this afternoon! In the meantime, you can try an interactive DEMO of a lightweight mobile version of HandDGP directly on ANY device with a browser! nianticresearch.8thwall.app/handdgp-ar/ #ECCV2024

HUGE shoutout to our awesome #ECCV2024 🇮🇹 Program Chairs for all their efforts! Elisa Ricci Gül Varol Olga Russakovsky Stefan Roth Torsten Sattler

We updated the #ACEZero repository to make it compatible with newer versions of nerfstudio. We added some functions to make it easy to train Gaussian splats on top of ACE0. See our FAQ: "I want Gaussian splats from my images. What do I need to do?" github.com/nianticlabs/ac…

We wrote a text on how we envision the future of visual mapping: nianticlabs.com/news/largegeos… So far, we have trained ~50 million ACE networks. 😎 Together, that's 150 trillion parameters... Not bad! But the future lies in going from local small models to a global large model.

Niantic is hiring PhD students for internships in 2025: job-boards.greenhouse.io/niantic/jobs/7…

Splats are great, but wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could transform them into the stuff of dreams? Introducing our #CVPR2025 paper ✨Morpheus✨! Morpheus lets you change the shape and appearance of 3D Gaussian splats with a few words! nianticlabs.github.io/morpheus/ (1/6)

I was at Foxglove Actuate this week and it really felt like a who’s who of physical AI. I truly enjoyed meeting some of the people I had been looking up to, and definitely made new friends. Congratulations to Adrian Macneil — 🤖/acc and team for bringing together such an impressive group

Happy to share the work from my internship at @nianticspatial: ACE-G, which we will present at ICCV next week in Hawaii 🌴 ACE-G introduces large-scale pre-training to previously mainly per-scene-optimized scene coordinate regressors. (1/n)

We're heading to #ICCV25 next week! 🌺 Here's where you can find the Third Dimension team 👇
