Description

OpenSfM should be able to match using cascade hashing which 10x faster than flann.

TheiaSfM has a good implementation (https://github.com/sweeneychris/TheiaSfM/blob/master/src/theia/matching/cascade_hasher.h) that could be used by importing it into the third party modules.

OpenMVG has a modified version here https://github.com/openMVG/openMVG/blob/master/src/openMVG/matching/cascade_hasher.hpp

Research direction

Start by reviewing the issue description and the referenced TheiaSfM cascade_hasher.h and OpenMVG cascade_hasher.hpp implementations. Determine how a cascade-hashing matcher would fit into OpenSfM's matching pipeline and third-party modules. Done means OpenSfM can perform matching with cascade hashing and the integration is validated against the existing matcher behavior.
