## Description

This simple tool efficiently matches image pairs using multiple famous image matching algorithms. The tool features a Graphical User Interface (GUI) designed using [gradio](https://gradio.app/). 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.

Try it on <a href='https://huggingface.co/spaces/Realcat/image-matching-webui'><img src='https://img.shields.io/badge/%F0%9F%A4%97%20Hugging%20Face-Spaces-blue'></a>

Here is a demo of the tool:

## How to use

### HuggingFace / Lightning AI

Just try it on <a href='https://huggingface.co/spaces/Realcat/image-matching-webui'><img src='https://img.shields.io/badge/%F0%9F%A4%97%20Hugging%20Face-Spaces-blue'></a> 
<a target="_blank" href="https://lightning.ai/realcat/studios/image-matching-webui">
  <img src="https://pl-bolts-doc-images.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/app-2/studio-badge.svg" alt="Open In Studio"/>
</a>

or deploy it locally following the instructions below.

### Requirements
``` bash
git clone --recursive https://github.com/Vincentqyw/image-matching-webui.git
cd image-matching-webui
conda env create -f environment.yaml
conda activate imw
```

or using [docker](https://hub.docker.com/r/vincentqin/image-matching-webui):

``` bash
docker pull vincentqin/image-matching-webui:latest
docker run -it -p 7860:7860 vincentqin/image-matching-webui:latest python app.py --server_name "0.0.0.0" --server_port=7860
```
 
### Run demo
``` bash
python3 ./app.py
```
then open http://localhost:7860 in your browser.

### Add your own feature / matcher

I provide an example to add local feature in [hloc/extractors/example.py](hloc/extractors/example.py). Then add feature settings in `confs` in file [hloc/extract_features.py](hloc/extract_features.py). Last step is adding some settings to `model_zoo` in file [common/config.yaml](common/config.yaml).

## Contributions welcome!

External contributions are very much welcome. Please follow the [PEP8 style guidelines](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/) using a linter like flake8 (reformat using command `python -m black .`). This is a non-exhaustive list of features that might be valuable additions:

- [x] add webcam support
- [x] add [line feature matching](https://github.com/Vincentqyw/LineSegmentsDetection) algorithms
- [x] example to add a new feature extractor / matcher
- [x] ransac to filter outliers
- [ ] add [rotation images](https://github.com/pidahbus/deep-image-orientation-angle-detection) options before matching 
- [ ] support export matches to colmap ([#issue 6](https://github.com/Vincentqyw/image-matching-webui/issues/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](https://github.com/cvg/GlueStick): 

``` bash
git submodule add https://github.com/cvg/GlueStick.git third_party/GlueStick
```

If 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`.
