ORBIT++ is a research benchmark for Structure-from-Motion (SfM) and camera pose estimation, from Google DeepMind and collaborators. It builds challenging test clips from online panoramic 360° video: camera motion is tracked across the full panorama, then selected regions are cropped and reprojected into perspective-view clips with ground-truth trajectories. The panoramic context provides more reliable tracking even when parts of the view are blurred, moving or dynamic.
The project page reports that COLMAP and recent optimization-based and feed-forward methods (MegaSaM and VGGT-Long are shown) struggle on the benchmark. Results are broken down by six challenge categories: high speed, low texture, low light, crowds, egocentric parallel-moving objects, and fluids. Lack of texture is reported as the hardest for MegaSaM and COLMAP, and high speed for the other methods. Metrics include ATE and RPE-R.
ORBIT++ is an extended version of an earlier, smaller ORBIT benchmark published at CVPR 2026. The page gives a BibTeX entry (arXiv 2608.22039) but no download links, code or license in the provided material, so availability of the dataset itself is unconfirmed here.
