Scal3R is a research codebase for CVPR 2026 Highlight paper on large-scale 3D reconstruction from unordered images using test-time training. The core contribution is a novel bidirectional attention mechanism with fast weight updates (TTT layers) that adapts during inference to improve reconstruction quality for large scenes. The repository provides an end-to-end inference pipeline: given a folder of images, it estimates camera poses, depth maps, and produces a colored point cloud. The architecture builds on a DINOv2 backbone and VGGT-based aggregator with custom attention heads, loop detection via SALAD, and pose graph optimization with submap management. The codebase is well-structured with separate modules for data loading, model definition, inference orchestration, and visualization tools. It includes fallback implementations for key components (e.g., Python-only loop solver, simple correlation-based loop detector) to improve portability, though GPU and CUDA are assumed. The repository is primarily a research artifact with clean utilities that could be extracted for other 3D vision projects. Evaluation code and dataset scripts are explicitly marked as not yet released, limiting reproducibility until those are provided.
