Saliency detection

15 ICCV - Minimum Barrier Salient Object Detection at 80 FPS: with exe

Image feature detection and description ¹

Keypoint detectors

FAST: high-speed corner detector, in OpenCV
AGAST: even faster than the FAST. A multi-scale version of this method is used for the BRISK descriptor (10 ECCV).

Binary descriptors

BRIEF – fast and accurate interest point descriptor (not invariant to rotations and scale)
ORB – Oriented-Brief descriptor (invariant to rotations, but not scale), in OpenCV
BRISK – efficient binary descriptor invariant to rotations and scale, in OpenCV
FREAK – faster than BRISK (invariant to rotations and scale), in OpenCV

SIFT & SURF Implementations

SIFT: Original code by David Lowe | OpenCV | OpenSIFT | GPU
SURF: Herbert Bay’s code | OpenCV | CUDA

Other Local Feature Detectors and Descriptors

VGG Affine Covariant features – Oxford code for various affine covariant feature detectors and descriptors
LIOP descriptor – Local Intensity Order Pattern (LIOP) descriptor
Local Symmetry Features – matching of local symmetry features under large variations in lighting, age, and genTocHereg style

Global Image Descriptors
