We are happy to announce that the Fifth Workshop on Image Matching: Local Features and Beyond will be held at CVPR 2023 on June 19, 2023 (morning, Pacific Time) in Vancouver, Canada. The workshop will once again feature an open challenge which will be announced in the following weeks. We plan to hold it on Kaggle, as we did last year . Further details will be announced before the conference.
If you wish to receive announcements, please join our mailing list (expect 2-3 emails a year).
Matching two or more images across wide baselines is a core computer vision problem, with applications to stereo, 3D reconstruction, re-localization, SLAM, and retrieval, among many others. Until recently one of the last bastions of traditional handcrafted methods, they too have begun to be replaced with learned alternatives. Interestingly, these new solutions still rely heavily on design intuitions behind handcrafted methods. In short, we are clearly in a transition stage, and our workshop, held every year
