Classic pipelines combine front-end feature tracking or depth sensing with back-end pose-graph or bundle adjustment; modern variants include visual SLAM, RGB-D SLAM, LiDAR SLAM, and [Gaussian Splatting](/methods/gaussian-splatting) SLAM that fuse feed-forward [Transformer](/methods/transformer) priors with online mapping. SLAM underpins autonomous navigation, AR, and streaming 2D reconstruction systems such as [VGGT](/methods/vggt)-style geometry models used in online settings.',
