MicKey implements a feature detection pipeline for estimating keypoint positions directly in camera space, enabling metric correspondences and relative pose estimation. Featured at CVPR 2024, this end-to-end differentiable model utilizes pose optimization, necessitating only image pairs with ground-truth poses for training. Addressing AR challenges, MicKey supports a map-free benchmark using a single reference image. The availability of pre-trained models and demo scripts supports streamlined evaluation and custom processing, illustrating MicKey's practical contributions to enhanced image alignment and pose estimation.
