Sandbox for image retrieval models and algorithms
Now the repository constains only python scripts for classical VLAD image descriptor.
See the reference papers:

Installation
For using SIFT and SURF you have to compile and install OpenCV with OpenCV Contribs, and Python, SIFT/SURF support.
Remarks
For SuperPoint local features you should to download model weights from repo MagicLeapResearch/SuperPointPretrainedNetwork.
