Can one implement SIFT and SURF functionalities available in openCV in Sckit-image?Thanks

Unfortunately SIFT and SURF are patent encumbered, so we cannot include them in scikit-image. That said, I have file readers available for the format output by die provided SIFT and SURF binaries. You can also use SIFT and SURF from OpenCV inter-operatively with scikit-image. We also have other kinds of similar feature detectors, such as CenSURE, implemented (see `skimage.feature`). Stéfan
