Learning Discriminative and Transformation Covariant Local Feature Detectors
This code is the training and evaluation code for our CVPR 2017 paper. It includes the implement of a translation covariant local feature detector. The affine covariant model will be added in the future.

The code is tested on Ubuntu 14.04
Requirement
Python package:
tensorflow>1.0.0, tqdm, cv2, exifread, skimage, glob
Usage
Get the data
Download data from https://www.dropbox.com/s/l7a8zvni6ia5f9g/datasets.tar.gz?dl=0
and put the extract the data to ./data/
Run the code
Change Matlab link in all the files in ./script/
cd ./script
Generate transformed patch and train the model
./batch\_run_train.sh
Extract local feature point
./batch\_run_test.sh
Evaluate the performance
./batch\_run_eval.sh
