MAX-OTW commented 1 year ago

Hello, @ovysotska ,I really appreciate for your great work. I'm very interested in this.Does this repository have a python version? The C++ version is holding me back.I think it would be easier to learn and apply if there is a python version.

I am always looking forward to your kind response. Best regards.

Hi @MAX-OTW, thanks for your interest in this repository. The main part is indeed written in C++, however, there is also a Python interface provided in the repository. Have a look at run_matching.py for an entry point.

If this wouldn't be enough, there is as a matter of fact a simplified Python code that reimplements the basic search for image correspondences given a cost matrix. Check out this repository image_sequence_matcher. Note: the python implementation though can't deal with the scenarios where the query and reference sequence do not visit the same place in the environment. For relocalization capabilities, you would any to use this repository.

I am sorry to hear that C++ version is holding you back, if you feel like learning C++ check out this amazing course https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcFt-aa9KOY :wink:
