## Other Resouces

The method has been integrated into OpenCV library (see [xfeatures2d.matchGMS](https://docs.opencv.org/master/db/dd9/group__xfeatures2d__match.html)).

More experiments are shown in [FM-Bench](https://jwbian.net/fm-bench).

The paper was selected and reviewed by [Computer Vision News](http://www.rsipvision.com/ComputerVisionNews-2017August/#48).

## Usage

Requirement:

1.OpenCV 3.0 or later (for ORB features, necessary)

2.cudafeatures2d module(for gpu nearest neighbor, optional)

3.OpenCV xfeatures2D moudle (if using the opencv built-in GMS function)

C++ Example:

See src/demo.cpp

Python Example:

Go to "python" folder. Run "python3 opencv_demo.py".
(You need install opencv_contrib by "pip install opencv-contrib-python")


Matlab Example:

1. Go to "matlab" folder. Compile the code with OpenCV ('Compile.m'), and run 'demo.m'.

External Examples:

[OpenCV C++ demo](https://github.com/opencv/opencv_contrib/blob/master/modules/xfeatures2d/samples/gms_matcher.cpp) and [Mexopencv example](http://amroamroamro.github.io/mexopencv/opencv_contrib/gms_matcher_img_demo.html)

Tuning Parameters:

In src/demo.cpp
1. #define USE_GPU" (need cudafeatures2d module)
using cpu mode by commenting it.

2. We suggest using SIFT features for accuracy, and using ORB features for speed.


In gms_matcher.h

2. #define THRESH_FACTOR 6
Set it higher for more input matches, and lower for the fewer input matches.
Often 6 for ORB all matches, and 4 or 3 for SIFT matches (after ratio test).

3. int GetInlierMask(vector &vbInliers, bool WithScale = false, bool WithRotation = false)
Set WithScale to be true for wide-baseline matching and false for video matching.
Set WithRotation to be true if images have significant reative rotations.
