Visualization Tools

Glue Factory includes an interactive visualization tool to inspect model predictions and evaluation results.

Interactive Inspector

To launch the inspector:

python -m gluefactory.eval.inspect <benchmark> <experiment_tag1> <experiment_tag2> ...

Example: Compare LightGlue vs. SuperGlue on HPatches:

python -m gluefactory.eval.inspect hpatches superpoint+lightglue-official superpoint+superglue-official

Controls

• Click dots in scatter plot: View detailed visualization for that specific image pair.
• Left/Right Arrow keys: Navigate through image pairs.
• t key: Toggle summary text.
• x / y keys: Change the metrics plotted on axes.

Plotting from Training

During training, visualizations can be generated periodically. Configure this in the train section of your config:

train:
    plot: [5, 'gluefactory.visualization.visualize_batch.make_match_figures']

This will generate figures for 5 random batch items at the start of validation.
