pydegensac

This repository contains an Python wrapper of RANSAC for homography and fundamental matrix estimation from sparse correspondences. It implements LO-RANSAC and DEGENSAC.

It was originally located in https://github.com/ducha-aiki/pyransac, but was renamed to avoid conflict with already existing pyransac in pypi from other author.

Performance

Vanilla pydegensac implementation is marginally better than OpenCV one and with degeneracy-check enabled (DEGENSAC) it is the state of the art, according to the recent study Yin et.al."Image Matching across Wide Baselines: From Paper to Practice", 2020.

Installation

To build and install pydegensac, you can use pip from Windows, macOS and Linux:

pip install pydegensac

Or clone or download this repository and then, from within the repository, run:

python3 ./setup.py install

or

pip3 install .

To check if everything works, run the following:

cd examples
python -utt simple-example.py

You should see the following output:

Building hints from Tomasz Malisiewicz

  1. Compiling pydegensac without a system-wide install.
python3 ./setup.py build
  1. Compiling on Mac OS X computer Use GCC instead of Clang. The most recent version on my machine (installed via brew) is gcc-8. Try this:
CC=gcc-8 python3 ./setup.py build
  1. Compiling on Ubuntu 18.04 You need LAPACK and a few other libraries and I always forget those specific package names. Take a look at my pydegensac Dockerfile to see the exact packages you need to apt install on an Ubuntu 18.04 system (https://github.com/quantombone/pydegensac-dockerfile/blob/master/Dockerfile)
FROM ubuntu:18.04

update system

RUN apt-get clean
RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get install -qy \
    git python3 python3-setuptools python3-dev
RUN apt-get install -y cmake libblas-dev liblapack-dev gfortran
RUN apt-get install -y g++ gcc

download and build pydegensac

RUN git clone https://github.com/ducha-aiki/pydegensac.git
WORKDIR pydegensac
RUN python3 ./setup.py build

copy built assets into target directory (which will be a -v volume)

CMD cp -R /pydegensac/build/lib.linux-x86_64-3.6/pydegensac /target_directory

dockerfile

Example of usage

import pydegensac
H, mask = pydegensac.findHomography(src_pts, dst_pts, 3.0)
F, mask = pydegensac.findFundamentalMatrix(src_pts, dst_pts, 3.0)
