Camera pose estimation is solved when one controls the hardware and can afford multiple cameras/IMUs. Examples: Google StreetView, Meta Aria, robotics (IMUs are so cheap). Monocular SLAM (no IMU) isn’t solved but has limited practical relevance, mostly internet/historical videos.
This is why I refuse to work on camera estimation problems. For embodied AI, I consider it a **solved** problem at large – there are better things to spend your time on.
It's only a "problem" in academia.
