 This repository hosts the inference code of LightGlue, a lightweight feature matcher with high accuracy and blazing fast inference. It takes as input a set of keypoints and descriptors for each image and returns the indices of corresponding points. The architecture is based on adaptive pruning techniques, in both network width and depth - [check out the paper for more details](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2306.13643.pdf).
 
-We release pretrained weights of LightGlue with [SuperPoint](https://arxiv.org/abs/1712.07629) and [DISK](https://arxiv.org/abs/2006.13566) local features.
-The training end evaluation code will be released in July in a separate repo. To be notified, subscribe to [issue #6](https://github.com/cvg/LightGlue/issues/6).
