Unlock Next-Gen 3D Reconstruction with VGGT
VGGT empowers developers and researchers with a single forward pass to predict camera poses, depth maps, point clouds, and more—no external bundle adjustment required.
What is VGGT?
VGGT (Visual Geometry Grounded Transformer) is an open-source, Transformer-based model for end-to-end 3D reconstruction. VGGT consolidates multiple stages into a single forward pass, delivering camera extrinsics, dense depth, and high-fidelity point clouds directly from multi-view images.
Core Features
VGGT integrates an array of powerful features to streamline 3D scene understanding. Harness the full capabilities of VGGT's modular design.
Transformer-Based Encoder-Decoder
Leverages multi-head attention to fuse geometric and appearance cues across views.
Camera Pose Estimation
End-to-end prediction of camera extrinsics without external bundle adjustment.
Dense Depth Prediction
High-resolution depth maps for each view, with sub-millimeter accuracy.
Point Cloud Generation
Direct extraction of 3D point clouds from latent representations.
Scalable Architecture
Configurable model sizes (100M, 200M, 500M parameters) to balance performance and resource needs.
Easy Integration
Python API and command-line tools for seamless integration into research pipelines and production systems.
Demo Interfaces
Interactive Jupyter notebooks, Gradio web demo, and VisER visualization scripts.
