This simple tool efficiently matches image pairs using multiple famous image matching algorithms. The tool features a Graphical User Interface (GUI) designed using gradio. You can effortlessly select two images and a matching algorithm and obtain a precise matching result. Note: the images source can be either local images or webcam images.
Here is a demo of the tool:

Just try it on HF 
or deploy it locally following the instructions below.
git clone --recursive https://github.com/Vincentqyw/image-matching-webui.git
cd image-matching-webui
conda env create -f environment.yaml
conda activate imwpython3 ./app.pythen open http://localhost:7860 in your browser.
I provide an example to add local feature in hloc/extractors/example.py. Then add feature settings in confs in file hloc/extract_features.py. Last step is adding some settings to matcher_zoo in file common/utils.py.
External contributions are very much welcome. Please follow the PEP8 style guidelines using a linter like flake8 (reformat using command python -m black .). This is a non-exhaustive list of features that might be valuable additions:
- add webcam support
- add line feature matching algorithms
- example to add a new feature extractor / matcher
- ransac to filter outliers
- add rotation images options before matching
- support export matches to colmap (#issue 6)
- add config file to set default parameters
- dynamically load models and reduce GPU overload
Adding local features / matchers as submodules is very easy. For example, to add the GlueStick:
git submodule add https://github.com/cvg/GlueStick.git third_party/GlueStickIf remote submodule repositories are updated, don't forget to pull submodules with git submodule update --remote, if you only want to update one submodule, use git submodule update --remote third_party/GlueStick.
