+# ImAge
+
+ImAge is an implicit aggregation method to get robust global image descriptors for visual place recognition, which neither modifies the backbone nor needs an extra aggregator. This work outperforms previous SOTA methods on several VPR benchmarks.

+
+## Usage
+
+```python
+import torch
+model = torch.hub.load("Lu-Feng/ImAge", "ImAge")
+model.eval()
+
+# Extract descriptor from an image
+image = torch.randn(1, 3, 322, 322)  # [B, 3, H, W]
+with torch.no_grad():
+    descriptor = model(image)  # [B, 6144] L2-normalized descriptor
+```
