## Overview
The SuperPoint model was proposed
in [SuperPoint: Self-Supervised Interest Point Detection and Description](https://huggingface.co/papers/1712.07629) by Daniel
DeTone, Tomasz Malisiewicz and Andrew Rabinovich.
This model is the result of a self-supervised training of a fully-convolutional network for interest point detection and
description. The model is able to detect interest points that are repeatable under homographic transformations and
provide a descriptor for each point. The use of the model in its own is limited, but it can be used as a feature
extractor for other tasks such as homography estimation, image matching, etc.
The abstract from the paper is the following:
*This paper presents a self-supervised framework for training interest point detectors and descriptors suitable for a
large number of multiple-view geometry problems in computer vision. As opposed to patch-based neural networks, our
fully-convolutional model operates on full-sized images and jointly computes pixel-level interest point locations and
associated descriptors in one forward pass. We introduce Homographic Adaptation, a multi-scale, multi-homography
approach for boosting interest point detection repeatability and performing cross-domain adaptation (e.g.,
synthetic-to-real). Our model, when trained on the MS-COCO generic image dataset using Homographic Adaptation, is able
to repeatedly detect a much richer set of interest points than the initial pre-adapted deep model and any other
traditional corner detector. The final system gives rise to state-of-the-art homography estimation results on HPatches
when compared to LIFT, SIFT and ORB.*

Here is a quick example of using the model to detect interest points in an image:
```python
The example below demonstrates how to detect interest points in an image with the [`AutoModel`] class.

```
The outputs contain the list of keypoint coordinates with their respective score and description (a 256-long vector).
</hfoption>

You can also feed multiple images to the model. Due to the nature of SuperPoint, to output a dynamic number of keypoints,
you will need to use the mask attribute to retrieve the respective information :
## Notes
```python
from transformers import AutoImageProcessor, SuperPointForKeypointDetection
import torch
from PIL import Image
import requests
- SuperPoint outputs a dynamic number of keypoints per image, which makes it suitable for tasks requiring variable-length feature representations.
url_image_1 = "http://images.cocodataset.org/val2017/000000039769.jpg"
image_1 = Image.open(requests.get(url_image_1, stream=True).raw)
url_image_2 = "http://images.cocodataset.org/test-stuff2017/000000000568.jpg"
image_2 = Image.open(requests.get(url_image_2, stream=True).raw)
```py
from transformers import AutoImageProcessor, SuperPointForKeypointDetection
import torch
from PIL import Image
import requests
processor = AutoImageProcessor.from_pretrained("magic-leap-community/superpoint")
model = SuperPointForKeypointDetection.from_pretrained("magic-leap-community/superpoint")
url_image_1 = "http://images.cocodataset.org/val2017/000000039769.jpg"
image_1 = Image.open(requests.get(url_image_1, stream=True).raw)
url_image_2 = "http://images.cocodataset.org/test-stuff2017/000000000568.jpg"
image_2 = Image.open(requests.get(url_image_2, stream=True).raw)
images = [image_1, image_2]
inputs = processor(images, return_tensors="pt")
# Example of handling dynamic keypoint output
outputs = model(**inputs)
keypoints = outputs.keypoints # Shape varies per image
scores = outputs.scores # Confidence scores for each keypoint
descriptors = outputs.descriptors # 256-dimensional descriptors
mask = outputs.mask # Value of 1 corresponds to a keypoint detection
```
images = [image_1, image_2]
- The model provides both keypoint coordinates and their corresponding descriptors (256-dimensional vectors) in a single forward pass.
- For batch processing with multiple images, you need to use the mask attribute to retrieve the respective information for each image. You can use the `post_process_keypoint_detection` from the `SuperPointImageProcessor` to retrieve the each image information.
processor = AutoImageProcessor.from_pretrained("magic-leap-community/superpoint")
model = SuperPointForKeypointDetection.from_pretrained("magic-leap-community/superpoint")
```py
# Batch processing example
images = [image1, image2, image3]
inputs = processor(images, return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model(**inputs)
image_sizes = [(img.height, img.width) for img in images]
processed_outputs = processor.post_process_keypoint_detection(outputs, image_sizes)
```
inputs = processor(images, return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model(**inputs)
image_sizes = [(image.height, image.width) for image in images]
outputs = processor.post_process_keypoint_detection(outputs, image_sizes)
- You can then print the keypoints on the image of your choice to visualize the result:
```py
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.axis("off")
plt.imshow(image_1)
plt.scatter(
outputs[0]["keypoints"][:, 0],
outputs[0]["keypoints"][:, 1],
c=outputs[0]["scores"] * 100,
s=outputs[0]["scores"] * 50,
alpha=0.8
)
plt.savefig(f"output_image.png")
```
for output in outputs:
for keypoints, scores, descriptors in zip(output["keypoints"], output["scores"], output["descriptors"]):
print(f"Keypoints: {keypoints}")
print(f"Scores: {scores}")
print(f"Descriptors: {descriptors}")
```
You can then print the keypoints on the image of your choice to visualize the result:
```python
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.axis("off")
plt.imshow(image_1)
plt.scatter(
outputs[0]["keypoints"][:, 0],
outputs[0]["keypoints"][:, 1],

s=outputs[0]["scores"] * 50,
