Unsupervised image matching and object discovery as optimization

Huy V. Vo, Francis Bach, Minsu Cho, Kai Han, Yann LeCun, Patrick Pérez, Jean Ponce - CVPR 2019

Getting started

The code is written and tested with Matlab 2017a. Modifications might be necessary to run it with other versions of Matlab.

Installing

git clone https://github.com/huyvvo/OSD.git

cd OSD

Dependencies

You need to download the code for generating region proposals with randomized Prim's algorithm and put it in the UODOptim/ folder

git clone https://github.com/smanenfr/rp.git

then run

cd rp; matlab -r "setup"

Running the tests

The main script for testing the code on VOC_6x2 is scripts/run_UOD.m. In a terminal, from the UODOptim folder, run

cd scripts; matlab -r "run_OSD"
