___*Overview* ___

The 7th edition of the Image Matching Workshop is co-located as every 
year with CVPR 2025. Our goal is to encourage and highlight novel 
strategies for image matching that deviate from and advance traditional 
formulations, with a focus on large-scale, wide-baseline matching for 3D 
reconstruction and pose estimation.


___*Challenge* ___

The workshop will once again feature an open challenge on Kaggle, which 
we expect to announce very soon.


___*Topics* ___

Workshop topics include (but are not limited to):
- Formulations of keypoint extraction and matching pipelines with deep 
networks.
- Application of geometric constraints into the training of deep networks.
- Large-scale evaluation of classical and modern methods for image 
matching, by means of our open challenge.
- Matching across different data modalities such as aerial versus ground.
- Leveraging additional cues such as semantics and mono-depth estimates.
- Attention mechanisms to match salient image regions.
- Connecting local descriptors/image matching with global 
descriptors/image retrieval.
- Methods addressing adversarial conditions where current methods fail 
(weather changes, day versus night, etc.).
- Integration of differentiable components into 3D reconstruction 
frameworks.
- New perception devices such as event-based cameras.
- Other topics related to image matching, structure from motion, 
mapping, and relocalization, such as privacy-preserving representations.


___*Invited speakers* ___

- Johannes Schoenberger, Meta
- Jonáš Kulhánek, CTU Prague


___*Paper submission* ___

We invite paper submissions up to 8 pages, excluding references and 
acknowledgements. They should use the CVPR template (reviews are 
double-blind, so please hide author data in the pdf) and be submitted to 
the CMT site (linked above). Submissions must contain novel work and 
will be indexed in IEEE Xplore/CVF. They will receive at least two 
double-blind reviews.


___*Important dates* ___

- Paper submission deadline: March 17, 2025
- Notification to authors: April 2, 2025
- Camera-ready deadline: April 4, 2025 (hard deadline on April 7)
- Workshop date: TBC (June 11 or 12, 2025)
