Properties

Extended

false means that the basic descriptors (64 elements each) shall be computed. true means that the extended descriptors (128 elements each) shall be computed

HessianThreshold

Threshold for the keypoint detector. Only features, whose hessian is larger than hessianThreshold are retained by the detector. Therefore, the larger the value, the less keypoints you will get. A good default value could be from 300 to 500, depending from the image contrast.

NOctaveLayers

The number of images within each octave of a gaussian pyramid. It is set to 2 by default.

NOctaves

The number of a gaussian pyramid octaves that the detector uses. It is set to 4 by default. If you want to get very large features, use the larger value. If you want just small features, decrease it.

Upright

false means that detector computes orientation of each feature. true means that the orientation is not computed (which is much, much faster). For example, if you match images from a stereo pair, or do image stitching, the matched features likely have very similar angles, and you can speed up feature extraction by setting upright=true.
