The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that a state of the art feature matcher (LoFTR) can be made more robust to rotations by simply replacing the backbone CNN with a steerable CNN which is equivariant to translations and image rotations. It is experimentally shown that this boost is obtained without reducing performance on ordinary illumination and viewpoint matching sequences.
