**TLDR:** A task that matches similar local points across images to enable alignment, registration, and 3D inference.

<p>Local feature matching is one of the foundational ways to establish geometric relationships across images. It is critical for camera pose estimation, structure-from-motion, image registration, and augmented reality. In addition to classical descriptors, learning-based local matching models have also become widespread. It is an important problem area where visual geometry meets learned representation.</p>
