## 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.

Here is a demo of the tool:

The tool currently supports various popular image matching algorithms, namely:

## How to use

### 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
```
 
### 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 [extra_utils/utils.py](extra_utils/utils.py).

## 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
- [ ] ransac to filter outliers
- [ ] 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`.
