This is cool.... Would be nice to be able to use more processing algorithms such as SIFT[1]. Or would the SIFT patent get in the way of this? [1] https://en.wi

- loomi 11y agoThis is totally feasible, ImagePlay allows to add your own Plug-Ins. Like this you can also add algorithms which are patented (which I don't know if and how and where SIFT is.) https://github.com/cpvrlab/ImagePlay/wiki/Plugins:-01-Tutorial-(Windows) https://github.com/cpvrlab/ImagePlay/wiki/Plugins:-01-Tutori...
- madmax108 11y agoNice. Definitely looking forward to checking this out :) SIFT is patented[1] and not free for commercial use. This puts people who want to use the amazing alternative to play around finding alternatives, which are usually either half-baked functionally or simply not as good.[2] [1] https://www.google.com/patents/US6711293 https://www.google.com/patents/US6711293 [2] http://dsp.stackexchange.com/questions/1288/what-are-some-free-alternatives-to-sift-surf-that-can-be-used-in-commercial-app http://dsp.stackexchange.com/questions/1288/what-are-some-fr...
- thfuran 11y agoAren't SURF and ilk free and pretty performant?
- dr_zoidberg 11y agoROOT and SIFT are patented, that's why ORB was developed for OpenCV. It's mentioned in the OpenCV tutorials: http://docs.opencv.org/master/db/d27/tutorial_py_table_of_contents_feature2d.html http://docs.opencv.org/master/db/d27/tutorial_py_table_of_co...
