___*Overview* ___

We're happy to announce the seventh (!) edition of the Image Matching
Workshop, co-located as every year with CVPR 2025. Our goal is to
encourage and highlight novel strategies for image matching that deviate
from and advance traditional formulations, with a focus on large-scale,
wide-baseline matching for 3D reconstruction and pose estimation.


___*Challenge* ___

The workshop will once again feature an open challenge, which we expect
to announce soon.


___*Topics* ___

Workshop topics include (but are not limited to):
- Formulations of keypoint extraction and matching pipelines with deep
networks.
- Application of geometric constraints into the training of deep networks.
- Leveraging additional cues such as semantics and mono-depth estimates.
- Methods addressing adversarial conditions where current methods fail
(weather changes, day versus night, etc.).
- Attention mechanisms to match salient image regions.
- Integration of differentiable components into 3D reconstruction
frameworks.
- Connecting local descriptors/image matching with global
descriptors/image retrieval.
- Matching across different data modalities such as aerial versus ground.
- Large-scale evaluation of classical and modern methods for image
matching, by means of our open challenge.
- New perception devices such as event-based cameras.
- Other topics related to image matching, structure from motion,
mapping, and relocalization, such as privacy-preserving representations.


___*Invited speakers* ___

- Johannes Schoenberger, Meta
- Jonáลก Kulhánek, CTU Prague


___*Paper submission* ___

We invite paper submissions up to 8 pages, excluding references and
acknowledgements. They should use the CVPR template (reviews are
double-blind, so please hide author data in the pdf) and be submitted to
the CMT site (linked above). Submissions must contain novel work and
will be indexed in IEEE Xplore/CVF. They will receive at least two
double-blind reviews.

We welcome PC self-nominations. If you're willing to review for the
workshop, please reach out at image-matching@googlegroups.com.


___*Important dates* ___

- Paper submission deadline: March 11, 2025
- Notification to authors: April 1, 2025
- Camera-ready deadline: April 4, 2025 (hard deadline on April 7)
- Workshop date: TBC (June 11 or 12, 2025)
