Recent methods have improved local feature learning, but many still rely on convolutional operators whose local receptive fields limit their ability to capture long-range geometric cues. We present Robust Deformable Detector (RDD), a robust keypoint detector and descriptor that uses deformable transformers to capture global context and geometric invariance. Deformable attention allows the descriptor branch to focus on a sparse set of informative locations, reducing the effective search space while preserving the ability to model long-range relationships. We also collect an Air-to-Ground dataset for training and evaluation, complementing the standard MegaDepth dataset. RDD outperforms state-of-the-art keypoint detection and description methods in sparse matching and also supports semi-dense matching. To support comprehensive evaluation, we introduce two challenging benchmarks: MegaDepth-View, which emphasizes large viewpoint and scale variations, and Air-to-Ground, which targets cross-altitude matching for 3D reconstruction.

Bagdanov","doi":"10.1007/s11263-026-03018-4","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s11263-026-03018-4","url":null,"abstract":"Exemplar-free Class Incremental Learning (EFCIL) aims to learn from a sequence of tasks without having access to previous task data. In this paper, we consider the challenging Cold Start scenario in which insufficient data is available in the first task to learn a high-quality backbone. This is especially challenging for EFCIL since it requires high plasticity, resulting in feature drift which is difficult to compensate for in the exemplar-free setting. To address this problem, we propose an effective approach to consolidate feature representations by regularizing drift in directions highly relevant to previous tasks while employing prototypes to reduce task-recency bias. Our approach, which we call Elastic Feature Consolidation++ (EFC++), exploits a tractable second-order approximation of feature drift based on a proposed Empirical Feature Matrix (EFM). The EFM induces a pseudo-metric in feature space which we use to regularize feature drift in important directions and to update Gaussian prototypes. In addition, we introduce a post-training prototype re-balancing phase that updates classifiers to compensate for feature drift. This strategy allows to improve over our previous EFC method by mitigating the misalignment between stored prototypes and the evolving feature space. Extensive experimental results on Tiny-ImageNet, ImageNet-Subset, ImageNet-1K, and DomainNet show that EFC++ achieves a strong stability–plasticity trade-off in Cold Start and outperforms recent exemplar-free baselines.
