visloc-rs: pure Rust SfM and 3DGS localization, 3.46x faster than COLMAP
rsasaki0109 · x · 2026-10-17
- visloc-rs implements SfM, visual-inertial SLAM, 3D Gaussian Splatting, and visual localization in pure Rust, with GPU support via wgpu.
- Benchmarks: SfM is 3.46x faster than COLMAP; VI-SLAM beats ORB-SLAM3 on 9/11 EuRoC sequences.
- Also supports 3DGS, meshing, and visual localization. Multiple developers flagged it as a repo to watch in the 3DGS space.
