MP-SfM: Monocular Surface Priors for Robust Structure-from-Motion Zador Pataki Paul-Edouard Sarlin , Johannes L. Schonberger, Marc Pollefeys tl;dr: using monodepth to reconstruct w/o co-visible triplets. Many ablations and details. M3Dv2 FTW demuc.de/papers/pataki2…

Paper of today: Pataki et al., "MP-SfM: Monocular Surface Priors for Robust Structure-from-Motion" -- github.com/cvg/mpsfm Depth estimators work great. Time to integrate them into SfM pipelines.

Excited to share the first paper of my PhD: MP-SfM! #CVPR2025 We augment SfM with monocular depth & normals to handle extreme low-overlap scenes. 🚀 Code: github.com/cvg/mpsfm 📄 Paper: arxiv.org/pdf/2504.20040 Exciting collaboration with Paul-Edouard Sarlin @pesarlin.bsky.social, J.L. Schönberger & Marc Pollefeys

Don’t miss the chance to learn more about our latest Structure-from-Motion system leveraging monocular depth & normal priors at #CVPR2025 ➡️ Poster 80, session 5, Sunday (tomorrow!) 10:30 ➡️ Code: github.com/cvg/mpsfm Congratulations to Zador for the great work! 🙌

We released COLMAP v3.12, which adds long-awaited end-to-end support for multi-camera rigs and 360° panoramas 👀 COLMAP just got better at handling your robotics, AR/VR, or 360 data - try it and let us know! github.com/colmap/colmap/… Kudos to Johannes & team for this great work 🚀

Of course we welcome feature requests and community contributions! We have a long roadmap and certainly could use some help - please do reach out if you have relevant experience and time to spare for an amazing open-source impact 😀

Welcome to 50th Pattern Recognition and Computer Vision Colloquium with: - Torsten Sattler - Paul-Edouard Sarlin - Vicky Kalogeiton - Spyros Gidaris - Anna Kukleva - Lukas Neumann Thursday Oct 9, 11:00-17:00. You still have time to buy tickets to Prague! cmp.felk.cvut.cz/colloquium/

A reminder that accurate motion estimation sparse visual SLAM has been in the domain of industry for many years now, and what you might often see in academic papers as the "state of the art" is fairly meaningless. (From Paul-Edouard Sarlin @pesarlin.bsky.social.bsky.social)
