*Image Matching: Local Features & Beyond*
*CVPR 2025 Workshop*

*submission deadline extended*: March 17, 2025 (+ 6 days)
__________________________________________________________

Workshop: https://image-matching-workshop.github.io
CMT website for paper submission:
https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/IMW2025

___*Overview* ___

The 7th edition of the Image Matching Workshop is co-located as every
year with CVPR 2025. Our goal is to encourage and highlight novel
strategies for image matching that deviate from and advance traditional
formulations, with a focus on large-scale, wide-baseline matching for 3D
reconstruction and pose estimation.

___*Challenge* ___

The workshop will once again feature an open challenge on Kaggle, which
we expect to announce very soon.

___*Topics* ___

Workshop topics include (but are not limited to):
– Formulations of keypoint extraction and matching pipelines with deep
networks.
– Application of geometric constraints into the training of deep networks.
– Large-scale evaluation of classical and modern methods for image
matching, by means of our open challenge.
– Matching across different data modalities such as aerial versus ground.
– Leveraging additional cues such as semantics and mono-depth estimates.
– Attention mechanisms to match salient image regions.
– Connecting local descriptors/image matching with global
descriptors/image retrieval.
– Methods addressing adversarial conditions where current methods fail
(weather changes, day versus night, etc.).
– Integration of differentiable components into 3D reconstruction
frameworks.
– New perception devices such as event-based cameras.
– Other topics related to image matching, structure from motion,
mapping, and relocalization, such as privacy-preserving representations.

___*Invited speakers* ___

– Johannes Schoenberger, Meta
– Jonáš Kulhánek, CTU Prague

___*Paper submission* ___

We invite paper submissions up to 8 pages, excluding references and
acknowledgements. They should use the CVPR template (reviews are
double-blind, so please hide author data in the pdf) and be submitted to
the CMT site (linked above). Submissions must contain novel work and
will be indexed in IEEE Xplore/CVF. They will receive at least two
double-blind reviews.

___*Important dates* ___

– Paper submission deadline: March 17, 2025
– Notification to authors: April 2, 2025
– Camera-ready deadline: April 4, 2025 (hard deadline on April 7)
– Workshop date: TBC (June 11 or 12, 2025)
