I would love to see a Python version out there, and to have a comparison
done with the current keypoint detectors in scikit-image.  With the
steady increase in citations of your paper, and proof of good
performance, I think this could be a good candidate for inclusion in
scikit-image.

Are you or one of your colleagues/students available to work on the
implementation?
