Loop closure in streaming 3D reconstruction achieves kilometer-scale accuracy without drift

By exploiting the globally consistent scale of the streaming backbone LoGeR, the method recovers relative poses via loop-conditioned windows and optimizes on the SE(3) manifold.

The authors present CLoSeR, a system that integrates loop closure into a feedforward streaming reconstruction backbone (LoGeR) to eliminate tracking drift on long trajectories.

CLoSeR builds on LoGeR, a streaming backbone that predicts camera poses, depth maps, and dense point clouds across windows with globally consistent scale.
