• Abstract: Structure-from-Motion -- the process of simultaneously estimating camera poses and 3D scene structure from a collection of images -- remains a central challenge in computer vision, with many open problems yet to be solved. Recent advances in feedforward 3D reconstruction have made significant strides in overcoming persistent failure cases of classical SfM methods, particularly in scenarios characterized by low texture, limited overlap, and symmetries. However, while feedforward approaches excel in these challenging conditions, they often face limitations regarding scalability, accuracy, or robustness, and typically fall short of classical methods in standard reconstruction settings. In this work, we systematically analyze these limitations and propose a new Structure-from-Motion pipeline by combining the respective strengths of classical and feedforward methods. Extensive experiments across multiple datasets show the benefits of our approach, achieving state-of-the-art results across a wide range of scenarios. We share our system as an open-source implementation at https://github.com/colmap/gluemap.
