EDGS: Eliminating Densification for Efficient Convergence of 3DGS
Contributions:
• We show that initial triangulation based on 2D correspondences can replace the incremental refinement process, fundamentally changing how 3DGS models allocate resources.
• Our method reduces the path each Gaussian must travel in parameter space. Careful initialization not only accelerates convergence but also guides optimization toward a convergence point corresponding to lower reconstruction error and thus higher reconstruction quality.
• Our approach outperforms both speed-optimized and quality-focused state-of-the-art models while using only half the splats of standard 3DGS. By improving initialization rather than altering the optimization process, this method is compatible with other 3DGS acceleration techniques, making it a flexible enhancement to existing models.

They provide real-time data on:
• traffic flows (i.e. speed and congestion)
• incidents (e.g. road closures)
This is also a paid dataset.

In 1969 a husband and wife launched a geospatial company with $1,100.
Today that bootstrapped company makes annual revenue over $1.5 billion.
Here’s the story of ESRI:
Internet access unlocks economic and educational opportunities.
Using (free) geospatial data, we can now identify which areas lack internet access at super granular levels.
Here's the breakdown:

To be an exceptional geospatial data scientist, you need competitive advantages.
Here are 10 (learnable) competitive advantages you can start cultivating today:
Stereo4D: Learning How Things Move in 3D from Internet Stereo Videos
Contributions:
1) A framework for obtaining real-world, dynamic, and pseudo-metric 4D reconstructions and camera poses at scale from existing online video.
2) DynaDUSt3R, a method that takes a pair of frames from any real-world video and predicts a pair of 3D point clouds along with the corresponding 3D motion trajectories that connect them in time.
ViewCrafter can generate high-quality 3D views from single or few images using a video diffusion model!
It allows for precise camera control and is useful for real-time rendering and turning text into 3D scenes.
