This repository contains the official implementation of 
[GlueStick: Robust Image Matching by Sticking Points and Lines Together](https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.02008).

## Install 🛠️

To install the software in Ubuntu 22.04 follow these instructions:
```bash
sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake libopencv-dev libopencv-contrib-dev
git clone --recursive https://github.com/cvg/GlueStick.git
cd GlueStick
# Create and activate a virtual environment
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -e .
```

## Running GlueStick 🏃
Download the weights of the model:
```
wget https://github.com/cvg/GlueStick/releases/download/v0.1_arxiv/checkpoint_GlueStick_MD.tar -P resources/weights
```

You can execute the inference with it with:
```
python -m gluestick.run -img1 resources/img1.jpg -img2 resources/img2.jpg
```

## Training 🏋️
We want to provide you with high-quality and flexible code for training. Stay tuned, we will release it soon!
