Usage

Requirement:

1.OpenCV 3.0 or later (for IO and ORB features, necessary)

2.cudafeatures2d module(for gpu nearest neighbor, optional)

C++ Example:

Image pair demo in demo.cpp.

Matlab Example

You should compile the code with opencv library firstly(see the 'Compile.m').

Tune Parameters:

In demo.cpp
	1.#define USE_GPU" will need gpu cudafeatures2d module for nearest neighbor match, 
		using cpu match by commenting it.

In gms_matcher.h
			
	2.	#define THRESH_FACTOR 6			// factor for calculating threshold
			The higher, the less matches, vice verse
			
	3. 	int GetInlierMask(vector<bool> &vbInliers, bool WithScale = false, bool WithRotation = false)
			You can open multi-scale and rotation if your image pair contains that.
