- SIFT family is still the best local descriptor, outperforms novel CNN [SiamNet2015] approaches.
- (adaptive) Hessian-Affine is the best detector with broad applicability (not beaten yet)
- Affine view synthesis greatly helps for non-geometrical problems.
- Datasets and WxBS-Matcher available http://cmp.felk.cvut.cz/wbs/
- We need more diverse datasets for learning local descriptors than Yosemite and Libert
