""" ========================================== ORB feature detector and binary descriptor ========================================== This example demonstrates the ORB feature detection and binary description algorithm. It uses an oriented FAST detection method and the rotated BRIEF descriptors. Unlike BRIEF, ORB is comparatively scale and rotation invariant while still employing the very efficient Hamming distance metric for matching. As such, it is preferred for real-time applications.
