# Matching Methods Gallery

This page shows the matching results for all available methods. All images were generated using the same input pair (5616x3744 pixel photograph and simulated image) on CPU (M4 Pro MBP).

Any method supported by [vismatch](https://github.com/gmberton/vismatch) (70+ models) can be used. See [Usage](usage.md) for details.
