Evidence claims:
- [upstream_claim] README: ViPE estimates camera intrinsics, motion and dense near-metric depth from unconstrained videos including wide-angle and 360 footage; 2026/09 added bounded-memory long-sequence SLAM (pose_only_long) using MoGe v2; 2026/01 Depth-Anything 3 integration. · locator: README intro and news · source: https://github.com/nv-tlabs/vipe
- [sourced_fact] LICENSE file header is Apache License 2.0 (Copyright 2025 NVIDIA); GitHub reports NOASSERTION, so model/data components may carry other notices. · locator: LICENSE header · source: https://github.com/nv-tlabs/vipe/blob/main/LICENSE
- [sourced_fact] Repo metadata: not archived, last push 2026-09-10. · source: https://api.github.com/repos/nv-tlabs/vipe
- [upstream_claim] Research review verdict at export: reviewed (as of 2026-10-17). Recorded by the research pipeline, not a hub review outcome; evidence.review stays unreviewed until an independent reviewer records one.

- model_weights: license=unknown hosting=unknown redistribution=unknown modification=unknown training=unknown · Depth/pose models it downloads (e.g. MoGe, Depth-Anything) carry their own licenses; not checked. · evidence: https://github.com/nv-tlabs/vipe
