Running dense matching from scratch in demo

Open sidk99 opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Thanks for the great work, a few questions:

  1. Current setup for dense matching using loftr is done for the eth3d dataset and seems to be designed to run on an preexisting colmap model. Can the dense_matching be used from scratch to create pairs without any other feauture extraction/pairing?
  2. How can the match_dense be used in the sample demo provided?

Hi @sidk99, match_dense replaces extract_features and match_features from hloc, and results in the exact same output format, i.e. all the following steps (KA, mapping, BA) remain unchanged.

And yes, no other feature extraction / pairing is required.
