One rainy afternoon, Nandini launched , a new app she’d built to help users find like-minded souls through shared hobbies. The catch? Users had to solve a riddle or share a piece of art—a song, poem, or painting—to unlock a match. Aravind, bored and inspired, uploaded a video of himself playing a soulful raga under the old Marundhurai temple, his melody blending with the monsoon rain.
SLAM System Pipeline
Our method performs real-time SLAM by fusing synchronized inputs from a multi-camera rig into a unified 3D Gaussian map. It first selects keyframes and estimates depth and normal maps for each camera, then jointly optimizes poses and depths via multi-camera bundle adjustment and scale-consistent depth alignment. Refined keyframes are fused into a dense Gaussian map using differentiable rasterization, interleaved with densification and pruning. An optional offline stage further refines camera trajectories and map quality. The system supports RGB inputs, enabling accurate tracking and photorealistic reconstruction.
