R2D2: Repeatable and Reliable Image Keypoints That Match Day or Night
Photos hide tiny spots that help computers know where things are.
But not every shiny corner helps.
R2D2 learns to find spots that are both repeatable and reliable, so matches between images are much better.
Instead of just picking points that look important, it also learns which points can be matched with confidence, so it avoid confusing areas.
The system learns to pick keypoints and make simple summaries called descriptors, and at the same time it predicts if those summaries can be trusted.
This makes it skip vague places, and keeps only the strong ones.
The result is more stable matching, even when pictures change a lot, like different light or night scenes.
It was trained without human labels, so it can learn from many pictures by itself.
The outcome, faster and more accurate matches, helps tasks like finding where a photo was taken or stitching images, and it works well in hard conditions people thought was tricky.
