ConDL: Detector-Free Dense Image Matching
In this work, we introduce a deep-learning framework designed for estimating dense image correspondences. Our fully convolutional model generates dense feature maps for images, where each pixel is associated with a descriptor that can be matched across multiple images. Unlike previous methods, our model is trained on synthetic data that includes significant distortions, such as perspective changes, illumination variations, shadows, and specular highlights. Utilizing contrastive learning, our feature maps achieve greater invariance to these distortions, enabling robust matching. Notably, our method eliminates the need for a keypoint detector, setting it apart from many existing image-matching techniques.

Densely Semantic Enhancement for Domain Adaptive Region-free Detectors
Unsupervised domain adaptive object detection aims to adapt a well-trained detector from its original source domain with rich labeled data to a new target domain with unlabeled data. Previous works focus on improving the…

We present a novel method for local image feature matching. Instead of performing image feature detection, description, and matching sequentially, we propose to first establish pixel-wise dense matches at a coarse level …

Detector-based and detector-free matchers are only applicable within their respective sparsity ranges. To improve adaptability of existing matchers, this paper introduces a novel probabilistic reweighting method. Our met…
Geometry-Aware Feature Matching for Large-Scale Structure from Motion
Establishing consistent and dense correspondences across multiple images is crucial for Structure from Motion (SfM) systems. Significant view changes, such as air-to-ground with very sparse view overlap, pose an even gre…
Are Semi-Dense Detector-Free Methods Good at Matching Local Features?
Semi-dense detector-free approaches (SDF), such as LoFTR, are currently among the most popular image matching methods. While SDF methods are trained to establish correspondences between two images, their performances are…
