Known weaknesses

Each one links to the public issue, changelog or docs page it came from, where we have one.

1. 01

   Steep learning curve for new users

   InfiniTAM's API and documentation assume a high level of expertise in computer vision and real-time rendering techniques.

2. 02

   Limited language support beyond C++

   The framework is primarily developed in C++, with no official support for other languages, limiting its accessibility to developers who prefer or require different programming environments.

3. 03

   Complex setup and configuration process

   Setting up InfiniTAM requires detailed knowledge of the underlying hardware and software configurations, including specific dependencies and build tools.

4. 04

   Performance can degrade with very large scenes

   While efficient memory management is a strength, extremely large-scale reconstructions may still face performance bottlenecks due to the complexity of real-time processing.

What it does well

• Real-time large-scale dense scene reconstruction

• Efficient memory management for large scenes

• Supports multiple platforms including Windows, Linux, and macOS
