DKM: Dense Kernelized Feature Matching for Geometry Estimation


DKM: Dense Kernelized Feature Matching for Geometry Estimation
Johan Edstedt, Ioannis Athanasiadis, Mårten Wadenbäck, Michael Felsberg
CVPR 2023

WARNING: DKM is trained on a specific resolution, and is sensitive to the image resolution used. This means that feeding images of a different resolution (higher or lower), may give significantly worse performance. If you're finding DKM to give poor performance, please contact me, it's probably something to do with the input.

How to Use?

Our model produces a dense (for all pixels) warp and certainty.

Warp: [B,H,W,4] for all images in batch of size B, for each pixel HxW, we ouput the input and matching coordinate in the normalized grids [-1,1]x[-1,1].

Certainty: [B,H,W] a number in each pixel indicating the matchability of the pixel.

See demo for two demos of DKM.

See api.md for API.

Navigating the Code

Install

Run pip install -e .

Demo

A demonstration of our method can be run by:

python demo_match.py

This runs our model trained on mega on two images taken from Sacre Coeur.

Benchmarks

See Benchmarks for details.

Training

See Training for details.

Reproducing Results

Given that the required benchmark or training dataset has been downloaded and unpacked, results can be reproduced by running the experiments in the experiments folder.

Using DKM matches for estimation

We recommend using the excellent Graph-Cut RANSAC algorithm: https://github.com/danini/graph-cut-ransac
