Our paper "The Monado SLAM Dataset for Egocentric Visual-Inertial Tracking" has been accepted at #IROS2025! Because SLAM/VIO datasets were getting a bit too easy :) 🔗 huggingface.co/datasets/colla… 📄 arxiv.org/abs/2508.00088 🎥 youtu.be/-lsHpsTI-Q0 (1/5)

ViSTA-SLAM: Visual SLAM with Symmetric Two-view Association Ganlin Zhang, Shenhan Qian, Xi, Daniel Cremers tl;dr: DUSt3R-based symmetric frontend->local pointmaps and relative poses as backend->Sim(3) pose graph with loop closures+LM arxiv.org/abs/2509.01584

ViSTA-SLAM: Visual SLAM with Symmetric Two-view Association github.com/zhangganlin/vi… ViSTA-SLAM is a real-time monocular dense SLAM pipeline that combines a Symmetric Two-view Association (STA) frontend with Sim(3) pose graph optimization and loop closure, enabling accurate camera

TUM Computer Vision Group goes #ICCV2025 in Hawaii! 🛫🌋 We are very proud of our students who will present five papers (+ 1 workshop) during the conference! In particular, check out Back-on-track, which is an award candidate. (Congrats Weirong Chen!)
