## How to Use
```python
from romav2 import RoMaV2

# load pretrained model
model = RoMaV2()
# Match densely for any image-like pair of inputs
preds = model.match(img_A_path, img_B_path)

# you can also run the forward method directly as 
# preds = model(img_A, img_B)

# Sample 5000 matches for estimation
matches, overlaps, precision_AB, precision_BA = model.sample(preds, 5000)

# Convert to pixel coordinates (RoMaV2 produces matches in [-1,1]x[-1,1])
kptsA, kptsB = model.to_pixel_coordinates(matches, H_A, W_A, H_B, W_B)

# Find a fundamental matrix (or anything else of interest)
F, mask = cv2.findFundamentalMat(
    kptsA.cpu().numpy(), kptsB.cpu().numpy(), ransacReprojThreshold=0.2, method=cv2.USAC_MAGSAC, confidence=0.999999, maxIters=10000
)
```
We additionally provide two demos in the [demos folder](demo), which might help in understanding.


## Setup/Install
In your python environment (tested on Linux python 3.12), run:
```bash
uv pip install -e .
```
or 
```bash
uv sync
```

## Benchmarks
If you do not already have MegaDepth and ScanNet, you can the following to download them:
```bash
source scripts/eval_prep.sh
```
### Mega-1500
```bash
uv run tests/test_mega1500.py
```
### ScanNet-1500
```bash
uv run tests/test_scannet1500.py
```
### Expected Results
Experiments on ScanNet-1500 and MegaDepth-1500 are provided in the [tests folder](tests).
Running these gave me `ScanNet-1500: [34.0, 56.5, 73.9]`, and `Mega-1500: [62.8, 76,8, 86.5]`, which are similar to the results of the paper.


## Fused local correlation kernel
Include the `--extra fused-local-corr` flag as:
```bash
uv sync --extra fused-local-corr
```
or 
```bash
uv pip install romav2[fused-local-corr]
```
or
```bash
uv add romav2[fused-local-corr]
```

## Settings
By twiddling with some different settings you may reach better results on your task of interest.
Some important ones, which we enable setting to some reasonable defaults through `model.apply_setting`, are:

`model.H_lr, model.W_lr`: height and width for the image pair.

`model.H_hr, model.W_hr`: height and width for a high resolution version of the image pair (used for upsampling as in RoMa)

`model.bidirectional`: Useful for getting more diverse matches, and for estimating the covariance matrix in both directions.

`model.threshold`: Value between [0,1]. Used to set overlap prediction above it to 1. Useful for Mega1500.

`model.balanced_sampling`: Diverse sampling, same as RoMa. Typically helps to get better RANSAC estimates.
