To paraphrase the great Dave Barry: Random Pictures of the Sun would be an excellent name for a rock band. =D (Or a blog, failing that!) I'll leave the actual questions to more qualified posters. ;) On Fri, Sep 27, 2013 at 11:18 PM, Stuart Mumford <stuart@mumford.me.uk>wrote:

Hi,

OK I need to plead ignorance here, is there a decent reference on / can someone explain to me: a) what ORB is :p b) What the difference between FAST, oFAST and rBRIEF and STAR (and FREAK?) is and which one likely to be the most appropriate for random pictures of the Sun? c) What else needs to be done to turn this feature detection and description work into registration?

Thanks!! Stuart

After having spoken to people at scipy this year I have seen a lot of work going into feature extraction and description. I was wondering what the status of this was and what still needs to be done before I (/we, SunPy) can use it to align our images?

Google Summer of Code is just ending, and Ankit posted the result of his and Johannes's work on ORB:

We also have STAR (Censure) features, so registration is finally within reach!

P.S. expect more emails regarding image warping in the next month ;)

Bring it on!

Cheers Stéfan
