This was a question asked to me by Kalra
- Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT)
For extracting key points and descriptors:
- Principal Component Analysis based Scale Invariant Feature Transform (PCA-SIFT)
- Speeded Up Robust Features (SURF)
For Indexing and matching:
- Locally-sensitive Hashing (LSH)
Note
In Computer Vision, SIFT is a feature descriptor
Other feature descriptors:
- GIFT
- HOG ^ffb7e9
- SURF
- GLOH
- LBP
- VLAD
