Requirements

COLMAP

We use COLMAP for DoG keypoint extraction as well as localization and mapping. Please follow the installation instructions available on the official webpage. Before proceeding, we recommend setting an environmental variable to the COLMAP executable folder by running export COLMAP_PATH=path_to_colmap_executable_folder.

Python

The environment can be set up directly using conda:

conda env create -f env.yml
conda activate cross-descriptor-vis-loc-map

Training data

We provide a script for downloading the raw training data:

bash scripts/download_training_data.sh

Evaluation data

We provide a script for downloading the LFE dataset along with the GT used for evaluation as well as the Aachen Day-Night dataset:

bash scripts/download_evaluation_data.sh

Training

Data preprocessing

First step is extracting keypoints and descriptors on the training data downloaded above.

bash scripts/process_training_data.sh

Alternatively, you can directly download the processed training data by running:

bash scripts/download_processed_training_data.sh

Training

To run training with the default architecture and hyper-parameters, execute the following:

python train.py \
    --dataset_path data/train/colmap \
    --features brief sift-kornia hardnet sosnet

Pretrained models

We provide two pretrained models trained on descriptors extracted from COLMAP SIFT and OpenCV SIFT keypoints, respectively. These models can be downloaded by running:

bash scripts/download_checkpoints.sh

Evaluation
