I am trying to run Features2D + Homography example on android however SURF is excluded from OpenCV4Android distribution. My question is simple, how can i modify this example to replace SurfFeatureDetector and SurfDescriptorExtractor with something that will work on Android?

FREAK will only extract descriptors. You need to detect features points first, for instance using FAST. Here is a small sample of what you could do:

cv::FastFeatureDetector detector(50);
cv::FREAK extractor;

std::vector<cv::KeyPoint> keypoints;
cv::Mat descriptors;

detector.detect(img, keypoints);
extractor.compute(img, keypoints, descriptors);

Notice that FREAK extracts binary descriptors, which is different than SURF.

Hope it helps.
