# News
- The [ALIKED](https://github.com/Shiaoming/ALIKED) is released.
- The [ALIKE training code](https://github.com/Shiaoming/ALIKE/raw/main/assets/ALIKE_code.zip) is released.
# ALIKE: Accurate and Lightweight Keypoint Detection and Descriptor Extraction
ALIKE applies a differentiable keypoint detection module to detect accurate sub-pixel keypoints. The network can run at 95 frames per second for 640 x 480 images on NVIDIA Titan X (Pascal) GPU and achieve equivalent performance with the state-of-the-arts. ALIKE benefits real-time applications in resource-limited platforms/devices. Technical details are described in [this paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2112.02906.pdf).

## 3. Run demo
```shell
$ python demo.py -h
usage: demo.py [-h] [--model {alike-t,alike-s,alike-n,alike-l}]
[--device DEVICE] [--top_k TOP_K] [--scores_th SCORES_TH]
[--n_limit N_LIMIT] [--no_display] [--no_sub_pixel]
input
ALike Demo.
positional arguments:
input Image directory or movie file or "camera0" (for
webcam0).
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--model {alike-t,alike-s,alike-n,alike-l}
The model configuration
--device DEVICE Running device (default: cuda).
--top_k TOP_K Detect top K keypoints. -1 for threshold based mode,

### Evaluation on Hpatches
- Download [hpatches-sequences-release](https://hpatches.github.io/) and put it into `hseq/hpatches-sequences-release`.
- Remove the unreliable sequences as D2-Net.
- Run the following command to evaluate the performance:
```shell
python hseq/eval.py
```
