Results reproducibility #1

Hello,

I am trying to reproduce the results on the Gardens Point dataset stated in the paper, but I cannot get them. May you clarify how you computed the precision metrics?

Thanks, Simone

Hi Simone,

I am not sure what you mean exactly here about not being able to reproduce the results but the precision in Table 1 of the paper is Precision at 100% Recall, which is essentially the total number of correct matches divided by the total number of query images in the dataset.

There is also the part about ground-truth tolerance in the Gardens Point dataset, for example since query image k seems to have reference images from k-2 to k+2 as coarsely the same place they are considered as correct matches. Maybe you could also see results at k-1 to k+2 and k-3 to k+3 as well. I do not remember exactly what range I had used back then but it was based on earlier papers. People have used different ranges for this in their works (which has major impact on precision), which is something I also discussed in my VPR-Bench paper.

Regards Mubariz

Thanks for your reply! I could not find any reference to the tolerance, so I thought there were some issues on the code I'm using. Now I've just checked out the paper you mentioned and I've finally obtained your same results.

Thank you, Regards Simone

Great, I am going to close this issue now. Good luck with your research.
