Add pipeline tag, license metadata and improve model card

Hi, I'm Niels, part of the community science team at Hugging Face.

I've opened this PR to improve the model card for LingBot-Map. Specifically, I've:
- Added `pipeline_tag: image-to-3d` and `license: apache-2.0` to the metadata for better discoverability.
- Updated the content to include detailed installation and usage instructions from your GitHub repository.
- Linked the model card to the corresponding paper on the Hugging Face Hub.

These changes help researchers more easily find, understand, and cite your work.

 ### 🗺️ Meet LingBot-Map! We've built a feed-forward 3D foundation model for streaming 3D reconstruction! 🏗️🌍
 
-LingBot-Map has focused on:
+LingBot-Map is a feed-forward 3D foundation model for reconstructing scenes from streaming data, built upon a geometric context transformer (GCT) architecture.
 
+Key features include:
 - **Geometric Context Transformer**: Architecturally unifies coordinate grounding, dense geometric cues, and long-range drift correction within a single streaming framework through anchor context, pose-reference window, and trajectory memory.
 - **High-Efficiency Streaming Inference**: A feed-forward architecture with paged KV cache attention, enabling stable inference at ~20 FPS on 518×378 resolution over long sequences exceeding 10,000 frames.
 - **State-of-the-Art Reconstruction**: Superior performance on diverse benchmarks compared to both existing streaming and iterative optimization-based approaches.

 ### Sky Masking
 
-Sky masking uses an ONNX sky segmentation model to filter out sky points from the reconstructed point cloud, which improves visualization quality for outdoor scenes.
