Cost Aggregation with Transformers for Sparse Correspondence

Abstract : In this work, we introduce a novel network, namely SuperCATs, which aims to find a correspondence field between visually similar images. SuperCATs stands on the shoulder of the recently proposed matching networks, SuperGlue and CATs, taking the merits of both for constructing an integrative framework. Specifically, given keypoints and corresponding descriptors, we first apply attentional aggregation consisting of self- and cross- graph neural network to obtain feature descriptors. Subsequently, we construct a cost volume using the descriptors, which then undergoes a tranformer aggregator for cost aggregation. With this approach, we manage to replace the handcrafted module based on solving an optimal transport problem initially included in SuperGlue with a transformer well known for its global receptive fields, making our approach more robust to severe deformations. We conduct experiments to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, and show that the proposed model is on par with SuperGlue for both indoor and outdoor scenes.

Traininge

To train the SuperGlue with default parameters, run the following command:

python train.py

Additional useful command line parameters

  • Use --epoch to set the number of epochs (default: 20).
  • Use --train_path to set the path to the directory of training images.
  • Use --eval_output_dir to set the path to the directory in which the visualizations is written (default: dump_match_pairs/).
  • Use --show_keypoints to visualize the detected keypoints (default: False).
  • Use --viz_extension to set the visualization file extension (default: png). Use pdf for highest-quality.
