Feature Description

Goal

In this tutorial you will learn how to:

  • Use the @ref cv::DescriptorExtractor interface in order to find the feature vector correspondent to the keypoints. Specifically:
    • Use cv::xfeatures2d::SURF and its function cv::xfeatures2d::SURF::compute to perform the required calculations.
    • Use a @ref cv::DescriptorMatcher to match the features vector
    • Use the function @ref cv::drawMatches to draw the detected matches.

\warning You need the OpenCV contrib modules to be able to use the SURF features (alternatives are ORB, KAZE, ... features).
