VGGSfM is an advanced structure-from-motion (SfM) framework jointly developed by Meta AI Research (GenAI) and the University of Oxford’s Visual Geometry Group (VGG). It reconstructs 3D geometry, dense depth, and camera poses directly from unordered or sequential images and videos. The system combines learned feature matching and geometric optimization to generate high-quality camera calibrations, sparse/dense point clouds, and depth maps in standard COLMAP format. Version 2.0 adds support for dynamic scene handling, dense point cloud export, video-based reconstruction (1000+ frames), and integration with Gaussian Splatting pipelines. ...

The codebase was designed to help researchers and practitioners quickly reproduce FAIR’s results and leverage robust pre-trained backbones for downstream tasks. It also integrates Gradient Blending, an audio-visual modeling method that fuses modalities effectively (available in the Caffe2 implementation). Although VMZ is now archived and no longer actively maintained, it remains a valuable reference for understanding early large-scale video model training, transfer learning, and multimodal integration strategies that influenced modern architectures like SlowFast and X3D.

VisualGLM-6B is an open-source multimodal conversational language model developed by ZhipuAI that supports both images and text in Chinese and English. It builds on the ChatGLM-6B backbone, with 6.2 billion language parameters, and incorporates a BLIP2-Qformer visual module to connect vision and language. In total, the model has 7.8 billion parameters. Trained on a large bilingual dataset — including 30 million high-quality Chinese image-text pairs from CogView and 300 million English pairs — VisualGLM-6B is designed for image understanding, description, and question answering. Fine-tuning on long visual QA datasets further aligns the model’s responses with human preferences. ...

CogVLM is an open-source visual–language model suite—and its GUI-oriented sibling CogAgent—aimed at image understanding, grounding, and multi-turn dialogue, with optional agent actions on real UI screenshots. The flagship CogVLM-17B combines ~10B visual parameters with ~7B language parameters and supports 490×490 inputs; CogAgent-18B extends this to 1120×1120 and adds plan/next-action outputs plus grounded operation coordinates for GUI tasks.
