DLoopDetector: Fast loop detector for sequences of monocular images

DLoopDetector is an open source, OpenCV-based C++ library for detecting loops in monocular image sequences fast. It makes use of DBoW2, so it allows to use multiple kinds of image descriptors. This software was used in papers [1] and [2]

DBoW2: Enhanced Hierarchical bag of words

DBoW2 is an open source, OpenCV-based C++ library for indexing and converting images into a bag-of-word representation. It also allows to search an image database for matches. This version allows to use multiple kinds of image descriptors, and implements a direct index to retrieve image features efficiently. This software was used in papers [1] and [2] and is based on works [3] and [4].

DBow: Hierarchical bag-of-word library for C++

DBow is an open source, OpenCV-compatible C++ library for indexing and converting images into a bag-of-word representation. It also allows to search an image database for matches. This implementation is based on papers [3] and [4].
