As previous years, the *Image Matching Workshop*:Local Features & Beyond
promotes the *Image Matching Challenge*, an open contest about local
feature matching, in collaboration with Kaggle.
The ultimate goal is to understand the performances and limitations of
well-established and emerging algorithms in real-world scenarios, their
failure modes, and how to address them, and to find out problems that
arise in practical settings but are sometimes ignored by academia. We
believe that this effort provides a valuable feedback loop to the
computer vision community.
In addition to complex scenarios with temporal changes, this year we
added a further challenge: each dataset contains multiple scenes and
distractor images, and you need to figure out what belongs together in
addition to solving the 3D reconstruction problem.
