Check out our latest work, VGGT! โšก๏ธ Itโ€™s a fast transformer that predicts cameras, point maps, depth and 3D point tracks. VGGT + CoTracker significantly outperforms CoTracker in 2D point tracking.

This new 3D transformer VGGT is epic! (CVPR'25) ๐Ÿ”ต I just tried running it against 28 pics of my coral reef pictures (from GoPro) and in less than 15s got a 3D point cloud + camera positions ready. ๐Ÿ”ต Everything is end-to-end DL, no traditional SfM. Could instantly see all the
