EuroSciPy sprint

[Johannes Schönberger]

Hi Andreas,

Adding more feature descriptors would be great. Here is a good comparison… http://computer-vision-talks.com/2011/08/feature-descriptor-comparison-report/

You also mention camera transforms - my plan for autumn is to implement camera calibration for skimage. As preparation for this, I am currently contributing some features which are essential for this task.
