ASpanFormer Implementation

This is a PyTorch implementation of ASpanFormer for ECCV'22 paper, “ASpanFormer: Detector-Free Image Matching with Adaptive Span Transformer”, and can be used to reproduce the results in the paper.

This work focuses on detector-free image matching. We propose a hierarchical attention framework for cross-view feature update, which adaptively adjusts attention span based on region-wise matchability.

This repo contains training, evaluation and basic demo scripts used in our paper.

A large part of the code base is borrowed from the LoFTR Repository under its own separate license, terms and conditions. The authors of this software are not responsible for the contents of third-party websites.

Installation

conda env create -f environment.yaml
conda activate ASpanFormer
