Image Matching Challenge 2023

Reconstruct 3D scenes from 2D images

EDA notebook:
- explore training data
- find out that vanilla COLMAP dramatically fails
- DISK (by Michaล‚ Tyszkiewicz)
, available from @kornia_foss saves the day...but that is just a simple training example
- AMAZING visualization from hloc (h/t Paul-Edouard Sarlin)

#kornia image matching models:
- DISK
- LoFTR
- KeyNet-AffNet-HardNet

Be careful: lots of aux code to import results into colmap database.
