BRIEF is not a feature detector—it is a feature descriptor. It describes a keypoint (like one detected using FAST) by encoding intensity comparisons between pairs of pixels in a small image patch.  Binary Descriptor ComputationFor a detected keypoint, take a square patch (e.g. S × S pixels).Pick pairs of points x and y inside this patch.For each pair, compare pixel intensities:  This gives a 1-b..

It's a fast corner detection method often used in real-time applications due to its speed and simplicity.  To determine if a pixel p is a corner, FAST uses:A circle of 16 pixels around the candidate pixel p.These pixels are tested to see if a segment of N contiguous pixels on the circle are all brighter or all darker than p by a threshold. Select 4 key pixels around p (in this example: pixels 1,..

Traditional methods like SIFT/SURF use Gaussian blurring (a linear scale space), which blurs both boundaries and noise equally. This weakens edges. KAZE uses a nonlinear diffusion filter to:- Preserve edges (boundaries)- Suppress noiseThis leads to better keypoint localization, especially around object edges. KAZE constructs a nonlinear scale space using the following equation:\begin{equation}\f..

It's like SIFT, but faster because it uses the Integral images to speed up image operations.  Any box region sum can be calculated in constant time using:Sum=D−B−C+A Gaussian vs. Box Filter Left: Gaussian FilterA Gaussian filter is smooth and continuous.It computes second-order derivatives of the image (like ∂²/∂x²) to detect blobs or corners.Precise but computationally expensive. Right: Box Fil..

SIFT is a method to: - Detect keypoints (interesting, stable points in the image)- Describe them in a way that is invariant to scale and rotationScale Invariance - SIFT is robust to images taken at different zoom levels (scales).- It does this by detecting keypoints in multiple scales, not just a single image resolution.Detector: Difference of Gaussian (DoG)\begin{equation}D(x,y,\sigma)=L(x,y,k\..
