This is like something straight out of Cyberpunk 2077 - the braindances investigation scenes.

What is the actual objective of this, is it solving an issue or creating a solution to a problem, that is still to be determined? It seems like a lot of energy to replicate a lidar mapping system. It's not like you can expect accurate dimensions from this approximate guess work, excluding the expected hallucinations adding to inaccuracy.

Very cool. Doesn't seem like they've actually released the code:

> This is a reimplementation of LoGeR; complete code and models will be released upon approval.

I don't understand why it's a reimplementation either?

I would guess it's "research" code anyway so not really usable unless you are an expert.

Very interesting paper. I can see street-view using it to perfect the 3D analysing of the photo-video they catch with there google-car. What a wonderfull time we are living in ! Specificaly in the Video to 3D reconstruction. Every month, a new brick is put in place.Super

Truly don't understand what is happening in the heads of these researchers. Can't they see how the main use of this is going to be mass surveillance?
