• Abstract: Feature matching is an important computer vision task that involves estimating correspondences between two images of a 3D scene, and dense methods estimate all such correspondences. The aim is to learn a robust model, i.e., a model able to match under challenging real-world changes. In this work, we propose such a model, leveraging frozen pretrained features from the foundation model DINOv2. Although these features are significantly more robust than local features trained from scratch, they are inherently coarse. We therefore combine them with specialized ConvNet fine features, creating a precisely localizable feature pyramid. To further improve robustness, we propose a tailored transformer match decoder that predicts anchor probabilities, which enables it to express multimodality. Finally, we propose an improved loss formulation through regression-by-classification with subsequent robust regression. We conduct a comprehensive set of experiments that show that our method, RoMa, achieves significant gains, setting a new state-of-the-art. In particular, we achieve a 36% improvement on the extremely challenging WxBS benchmark. Code is provided at https://github.com/Parskatt/RoMa

  We propose to cast matching as a 3D task with DUSt3R, a powerful 3D reconstruction framework based on Transformers. We propose to augment the DUSt3R network with a new head that outputs dense local features, trained with an additional matching loss. Our approach, coined MASt3R, significantly outperforms the state of the art on multiple matching tasks.

  We show that combining human prior knowledge with end-to-end learning can improve the robustness of deep neural networks. Our model combines a part segmentation model with a tiny classifier and is trained end-to-end to simultaneously segment objects into parts. Our experiments indicate that these models also reduce texture bias and yield better robustness against common corruptions and spurious correlations.

  Person search aims to simultaneously localize and identify a query person from realistic, uncropped images. To achieve this goal, state-of-the-art models typically add a re-id branch upon two-stage detectors like Faster R-CNN. In this work, we present an anchor-free approach to efficiently tackling this challenging task, by introducing the following dedicated designs.

  We propose a model that is accurate, robust, efficient, generalizable, and end-to-end trainable. In order to achieve a better accuracy, we propose two lightweight modules. DQInit dynamically initializes the queries of decoder from the inputs, enabling the model to achieve as good accuracy as the ones with multiple decoder layers. QAMem is designed to enhance the discriminative ability of queries on low-resolution feature maps by assigning separate memory values to each query rather than a shared one.

Next, we propose a self-attention variant that samples a subset of the most representative features by learning deformations over randomly sampled locations.
