Incremental Mapping

[saimouli]

Thanks for the great work.

With the current code base would it be possible to incrementally insert images and do training/mapping?

If not what code changes would you suggest to look into?

No, currently this is not supported.
Take a look at: https://github.com/MrNeRF/gaussian-splatting-cuda/blob/master/src/scene.cu
You just need to implement method, to load more data incrementally or you try lazy loading of images.

What what be your use case? What would this feature enable?

Useful for mapping such as this work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzb-tVcPETE

I am planning to use this codebase for my project and will be doing several improvements
