Researchers have developed X-VGGT, a novel feed-forward cross-view geometry transformer designed for georeferenced 3D reconstruction. This model integrates ground-level images with satellite imagery to simultaneously estimate ground-view camera poses, dense 3D point maps, and a scene-level transform. The output is a geo-registered reconstruction, aligning ground images with a georeferenced satellite image, and has demonstrated superior performance in accuracy and georeferencing compared to existing methods.
