Enhanced SLAM3R: Real-Time Reconstruction via Online Camera Stream

🌟 Project Overview

This is an enhanced and improved version of the well-known SLAM3R framework, designed to significantly expand its input versatility. The core advancement lies in enabling the use of online camera feeds, empowering users to perform remote and real-time 3D reconstruction using readily available mobile device cameras, thus overcoming the limitations of static local video files.

The overall functionality remains consistent with the original SLAM3R GitHub repository.

✨ Key Added Feature

The single, crucial feature introduced in this improved version is:

• 🌐 Online Camera Support of gradio demo: The system now supports using an IP Camera (Internet Protocol Camera) stream as the input source for 3D reconstruction.

How to Use the New Feature

---

Demo

• first run python app.py --online to open the gradio interface.

To leverage your mobile device camera for reconstruction from any location, follow these steps within the Gradio interface:

1. Locate the Input Type Menu: Navigate to the Type dropdown menu within the Gradio interface.

2. Select "web camera": You will find an additional option: "web camera". Select this option.

3. Provide Connection Details: Once selected, you must input the necessary credentials to connect to your mobile device's camera stream:

   Configuration Item	Description
   IP Camera Sharing URL	Enter the streaming URL (e.g., rtsp://...) provided by your IP camera application.
   Password	Enter the required password for accessing the shared IP camera stream.

4. Initiate Reconstruction: After entering the details, you can begin the 3D reconstruction process using the live camera feed.

Script

look up the hint in the scripts/demo_wild.sh:

######################################################################################
# Your input can be a directory of images, a video file, and a webcamera url.
# For directory of images, set the TEST_DATASET to path like: data/test/myimages
# For video, set the TEST_DATASET to path like: data/test/myvideo.mp4
# For webcamera, set the TEST_DATASET to url like: http://rab:12345678@192.168.137.83:8081
######################################################################################

then you can try

bash scripts/demo_wild.sh

Now you can start reconstruction now !

⚠️ Performance Note on IP Camera Usage

It is crucial to understand that the practical usability of the IP camera stream may be significantly affected by:

• Latency (Delay): High network latency can introduce inconsistencies and instability, potentially impacting the quality and real-time performance of the reconstruction.
