AffineDescriptorExtractor

AffineFeatureDetector

DescriptorExtractor

typedef Feature2D cv::DescriptorExtractor

#include <opencv2/features.hpp>

Extractors of keypoint descriptors in OpenCV have wrappers with a common interface that enables you to easily switch between different algorithms solving the same problem. This section is devoted to computing descriptors represented as vectors in a multidimensional space. All objects that implement the vector descriptor extractors inherit the DescriptorExtractor interface.
