The Image Matching Challenge 2024 is a computer vision competition that focuses on building 3D maps from diverse image sets. The challenge requires participants to solve fundamental computer vision challenges in image matching across varying angles, lighting, and seasonal changes. To address this problem, the Pipeline method combines multiple advanced techniques, including EfficientNet-B7 for initial feature extraction, KeyNetAffNetHardNet and SuperPoint for keypoint feature extraction, AdaLAM and SuperGlue for keypoint matching, and Pycolmap for 3D spatial analysis. The methodology achieved an excellent score of 0.167 on the private leaderboard, demonstrating its effectiveness in dealing with challenging variations in surface texture and environmental conditions.

The Image Matching Challenge is a competition that helps us build better maps from pictures taken from different angles and lighting conditions. To solve this challenge, researchers developed a new method that combines several advanced techniques to match images and create 3D maps. This method was very successful, beating other approaches in the competition. The results show that combining these techniques can really help when dealing with tricky situations like changing light or texture.
