Dense Matching

Dense matching aims to establish pixel-wise correspondences between images, crucial for tasks like 3D reconstruction and object tracking. Current research heavily utilizes transformer-based architectures, often incorporating techniques like coarse-to-fine refinement, attention mechanisms (including affine-based and adaptive variations), and efficient matching schemes to address computational complexity. These advancements improve accuracy and speed, impacting applications ranging from autonomous driving to medical image analysis and enhancing the robustness of various computer vision systems.
