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`).
